A visit was organized for M.Tech students specializing in Environmental Engineering to a sewage treatment plant employing Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology. The primary objective was to deepen the understanding of the working principles, advantages, and operational aspects of MBRs in wastewater treatment. During the visit, students learned about the integration of biological processes with membrane filtration, which enhances contaminant removal and significantly reduces sludge production compared to conventional treatment methods. The hands-on exposure provided valuable insights into the real-world implementation of MBR systems. Students observed the plant’s efficient performance in producing high-quality treated effluent suitable for reuse, underscoring the potential of MBRs in water recycling and environmental conservation.

Discussions also covered the scalability of MBR technology for future applications, emphasizing its role in sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Overall, the visit offered a comprehensive understanding of advanced wastewater treatment technology, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical operational experience
