Video: PB Membrane in action!

The core idea of VicInAqua is to develop, test and integrate novel technologies to enable the supply of clean water through a single wastewater treatment solution. An essential part needed to achieve this goal constitutes the PBM of the self-cleaning membrane bioreactor (MBR).

Partner ITM-CNR (Institute of Membrane Technology, Italy) was responsible for the creation of this technology for VicInAqua. In order to demonstrate the development and use of the membrane in the pilot plant at the InnovAgorà event in Milan, they created a video of the technology in action:
