• lower capital costs
• reduced energy consumption
• better peaking capacity
• less stringent screening requirements
• reduced footprint
With IMFAS
technology, both
energy usage and
membrane area
are significantly
reduced
compared to a
conventional MBR.
IMFAS is a sustainable
and cost-effective
path to membrane
quality effluent.
ENTEX has combined membrane separation
and integrated fixed-film activated sludge processes to
• minimize membrane area
• greatly reduce overall energy consumption
• further reduce the system footprint, and
• reduce overall installed cost.
Now you can get ultrafiltration membrane quality effluent at a cost competitive with
conventional activated sludge/tertiary filtration. With ENTEX proven attached growth
media in the bioreactor and an internal clarifier, high biomass is maintained in the reactor,
without subjecting the external membranes to a high solids working environment.
The IMFAS Advantage
IMFAS by ENTEX Technologies, continued
Advanced Systems. Proven Solutions.
The future is IMFAS
IMFAS means
• lower cost
• smaller footprint
• higher efficiency
• less energy
How does
IMFAS meet
the challenge?
The low fouling
nature of IMFAS
generated
suspended particles
allows the trans-
membrane pressure
drop to remain
consistently low,
even when
challenged with
high peak flow
periods and varying
influent turbidities.
• substantially less membrane area
• 50% lower energy cost
– no air scour blower
– no membrane clearing recycle pumps
– reduced aeration blower energy
• easy to operate & maintain
• no hollow fibers to break or plug
• no oversized EQ basins
• no ultrafine screening
(6 mm for IMFAS
vs. 1 mm for MBR)
A highly e�cient IFAS-membrane hybrid process, IMFAS dramatically lowers the membrane fouling rate and reduces energy consumption with minimum membrane surface area.
IMFAS �xes a majority of the biomass in the aeration basin. �e remaining suspended biomass forms a larger, stronger �oc, preventing fouling and clogging of the pore structure of the membrane.
ENTEX engineers have been involved in hundreds of plant installations. We’d like to be involved in yours.
