MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) Modules
Submerged flat-sheet and hollow-fiber membrane modules for compact wastewater treatment and reuse.
Product Description
MBR membrane selection directly affects footprint, effluent clarity and reuse reliability, and DSTC supplies modules to match the plant format and required membrane area. The membranes are submerged directly in the aeration tank, where ultrafiltration-grade fibers or flat sheets retain solids and biomass while treated water is drawn through under low pressure. This allows a higher biomass concentration in a smaller tank and produces clear, low-turbidity effluent suitable for reuse. DSTC supplies flat-sheet and hollow-fiber MBR modules in Saudi Arabia for replacement in existing plants, retrofit projects and new packaged STPs.
For quotation or proposal, send the required membrane area or plant flow, membrane type (flat-sheet or hollow-fiber), pore size or filtration grade, cassette or module format, the model you are replacing if applicable, and delivery or site city.
Overview
A membrane bioreactor places ultrafiltration membranes inside the aeration tank so biological treatment and solid-liquid separation happen together. Because the membrane, not gravity settling, performs the separation, the plant can run at higher biomass loading in a smaller footprint while delivering clear, reuse-grade effluent. DSTC supplies the membrane modules for this process in Saudi Arabia, covering submerged flat-sheet and hollow-fiber types in ultrafiltration grade. The right module is chosen by membrane surface area, design flux, pore size and cassette or module format, so it fits the existing frame or the new packaged STP. We supply replacement and retrofit membranes for operating MBR plants and membrane packages for new compact STPs where footprint is limited and final effluent quality matters.
Applications
- •Compact packaged sewage treatment plants (STPs) where footprint is limited

Product Summary
MBR modules are submerged membrane modules used inside aeration tanks to separate treated water from biomass in sewage and industrial wastewater plants. DSTC supplies flat-sheet and hollow-fiber MBR modules in Saudi Arabia for existing MBR plants and new packaged STPs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply MBR modules to replace membranes in an existing plant?+
Yes. DSTC supplies replacement and retrofit membrane modules for MBR plants already in operation. To match the correct module, send the model you are replacing, or the membrane area and cassette dimensions of the existing frame, and we will confirm a suitable module from the stock list.
What is the difference between flat-sheet and hollow-fiber MBR modules?+
Both are ultrafiltration-grade membranes submerged in the aeration tank. Flat-sheet modules use flat membrane panels in a rack, while hollow-fiber modules use bundles of fine fibers. The choice depends on plant design, the existing frame and cleaning method. DSTC supplies both types and can advise based on your plant details.
Can MBR effluent be reused in Saudi Arabia?+
MBR produces clear, low-turbidity effluent that is well suited to reuse for irrigation, landscaping and similar non-potable uses. The final reuse class depends on the full plant design and downstream disinfection, and reuse must meet the applicable Saudi regulatory requirements for the intended application.
How do I know what size or how many modules I need?+
Module sizing is based on plant flow and design flux. Together they set the total membrane area required, then the number of modules follows from the area per module. Send the daily flow or required membrane area and the tank or frame details, and DSTC will help calculate the module count and format.
Do you supply MBR modules for new packaged STPs, and which cities do you deliver to?+
Yes. DSTC supplies MBR membrane modules for new packaged STPs and as replacements for existing plants. We are based in Jeddah and supply across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Dammam, Jubail and Yanbu. Send your design flow, effluent target, module format and site city, and we will confirm availability and delivery timing.
