GE has always strived to help our
customers create sustainable water
supplies to alleviate scarcity issues,
provide cleaner water bodies, meet the
needs of growing populations and
industries, and meet or exceed the
world’s highest standards for water
reuse. As the global membrane
bioreactor leader, with over 5,000,000
m 3 /d (1.32 BGD) of ZeeWeed MBR
capacity, our MBR systems have
continued to combine proven
ultrafiltration technology with
biological treatment for municipal,
commercial and industrial wastewater
treatment and water reuse applications.
With over 25 years of proven MBR
experience, GE continues to set the
industry standards for research &
development, membrane
manufacturing, system design and
customer support. When our customers
challenged us to find a solution to their
biggest challenges: productivity,
footprint, operation simplicity and
energy costs, we answered. Building on
two decades of ZeeWeed MBR product
innovation, GE now introduces the new
LEAPmbr to address our customers key
wastewater treatment challenges and
provide the low energy and advanced
performance solution demanded by the
global wastewater treatment and reuse
market.
At GE we manufacture our membranes
utilizing the most advanced mass
production methods, while delivering the
most reliable MBR membrane product in
the world, living up to our reputation as
quality leaders. With LEAPmbr, we
continue this tradition with the release of
our most robust, highest performing
ZeeWeed 500 series product to date,
delivering the lowest installed and
operating costs in the history of our
ZeeWeed products.
The design of an MBR plant is a balance
between flexibility and simplicity, both in
design and operation. GE’s approach is
to incorporate maximum flexibility into
our plant designs to give operators a
complete toolbox to manage all events;
GE achieves this by providing
automation that simplifies operator
touch. With the new LEAPmbr, we have
achieved a new level of simplicity, while
not compromising on flexibility.
