Product Overview

MPAC™ Systems:

Custom Systems

THE SYSTEM

Simple in design and easy to operate, an Enviroquip MBR System provides the benefits of membrane technology without the complexity. From point-of-use package plants (see MPAC™ Brochure) to custom municipal installations, Enviroquip has designed and/or commissioned over 100 MBR facilities. Our experienced staff of professionals is trained to help you customize your plant using several available options as shown in the diagram below.

MPAC™ Systems

For small systems ranging in capacity from 5,000gpd to 125,000gpd, Enviroquip offers a series of pre-engineered, pre-assembled package plants that can be constructed and installed in 4-7 months. Ideal for decentralized, point-of-use treatment, these systems are easily “hidden in plain site” and provide a superior effluent quality to conventional package plants. Moreover, MPAC™ systems can be completely automated and configured for remote monitoring and control.

Six MPAC™ models are available that include different features and varying levels of instrumentation. Features common to each model include:

  • Flexible modular designs
  • Superior effluent quality meeting the most stringent reuse standards (Title 22 approved)
  • Rugged design for remote installations
  • Easy to maintain and operate
  • Options include equalization, pre-treatment, disinfection, and sludge handling
  • Proven, standardized controls system designed for remote administration

A brief description of each model is provided below.

MPAC-S

The S model is available in either concrete or steel tanks and requires some site assembly. Process equipment is skid or tank mounted. S models are available as assembled pieces or can be shipped loose for contractor field installation. Features of this model include:

Pre-Cast Concrete Tanks

  • Below grade installation
  • Easy access to all process equipment
  • Ideal for cold weather applications
  • Field assembly required

Reinforced Steel Tanks

  • Transportable above tanks for relocation
  • Less field assembly required
  • MBR redundancy on all systems

MPAC-B


The B model is a self-contained modular system housed in a pre-fabricated concrete building. This system is mounted above grade and is equipped with all components necessary for operation. Features of this option include:

  • Plug-and-play” system further reduces any construction costs and setup time
  • Durable modular structure with multiple finish options
  • Building air-conditioning available as an option

MPAC-C


The C model is a self-contained, easily re-locatable system housed in a weather-tight ISO container. This system is designed for use in extreme conditions and use as temporary treatment.

  • Plug-and-play” system further reduces any construction costs and setup time
  • Durable modular structure with multiple finish options
  • Building air-conditioning available as an option

Custom Systems
Medium (>125,000gpd) to large (>4MGD) scale MBR plants, are custom designed to match the design criteria of each application. However, Enviroquip has standardized design concepts for plants in these size ranges that incorporate beneficial features from our US installations as well as the 1,600 other Kubota MBR plants operating worldwide.

For each of our standard designs, 3D scaled models are available developed in Inventor®. Each model is fully compatible with AutoCAD and provides detailed information regarding unique piping and equipment requirements. In addition to our standardized designs, Enviroquip routinely provides design support to engineers developing unique layouts.

Process Types
UNR™
Using award winning bio-monitoring technology, UNR™ processes improve energy efficiency and biological performance while reducing system complexity.

Conventional
Not optimized for biological removal but sufficient for many applications.

Primary Operating Modes
Gravity
Nearly 40% of the 1,800 operating flat-plate MBR plants operate in what is referred to as gravity mode. In this mode of operation, a few feet of water head above the submerged membranes is sufficient to drive the filtration process. The primary advantage of employing this type of pump-less system is reduced maintenance. However, not all applications are suited for a gravity operation and require low head centrifugal pumps to drive the filtration process. An example of a MBR System operating in gravity mode is shown below.

Suction (Pumped)
Low-head pumps can also be used to drive filtration in lieu of gravity. Utilizing pumps provides allows for pressurized discharge to remote outfall or storage locations.

Options
STORM MASTER™
This configuration provides a cost-effective means of handling storm events and can significantly reduce solids handling costs. This option also incorporates features of the Energy Pro configuration.

ENERGY PRO
Using an automated system of slide gates and specific plant layouts, this configuration incrementally brings plant capacity online to match demand and optimize energy efficiency.

STANDARD
Standard systems include few moving parts and are extremely easy to operate. In fact, automation is optional for smaller systems.
