By using LG's slimmer flat-type microfiltration membrane modules and optimising the space in between, LG’s membrane bioreactor, which is the main component of the G-MBR process, requires 34% less space than conventional MBRs.
The membranes used in LG’s G-MBR are highly resistant to contamination and fouling because of advanced debris screening technology.
“The lack of clean water is a major cause of hunger, disease and poverty throughout the developing world,” said Young-ha Lee, president and CEO of LG Electronics Home Appliance Co. “And the problem will only get worse if the warnings about climate change turn out to be accurate. With G-MBR, LG has taken a huge step in making affordable clean water a reality for millions of people around the world.”
