Additional Membrane Bioreactor

The Sterling Natural Resource Center utilizes a multi-step treatment process to treat and recycle an average of up to 8 million gallons of wastewater per day. A fifth filtration train will be installed in the SNRC's Membrane Bioreactors. 

This project involves the installation of a fifth membrane bioreactor (MBR) train at the SNRC. The existing treatment process consists of four identical MBR trains, with infrastructure in place to accommodate a future fifth unit. Adding this fifth train at this time will enhance operational flexibility by allowing staff to better manage fluctuating flow conditions and reduce the frequency and severity of membrane fouling.

This proactive expansion supports the long-term performance and reliability of the treatment facility while optimizing maintenance cycles and overall plant efficiency.
