MBR Retrofit Boosts Treatment Performance at Virginia Mobile Home Park
This mobile home park required both capacity expansion and a more enhanced treatment process to manage the increased flow and the more stringent effluent quality.
Waterview Mobile Home Park in Gloucester, Virginia needed to expand capacity and meet stricter effluent standards. By retrofitting the existing MBBR system to a membrane bioreactor (MBR), the site achieved higher treatment performance with improved solids separation and nutrient removal.

CHALLENGE
Waterview Mobile Home Park required both increased treatment capacity and enhanced effluent quality to comply with more stringent discharge limits. The existing moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) system could no longer meet operational demands.
SOLUTION
Newterra delivered a modular membrane bioreactor (MBR) system to replace the existing biological treatment train. Key process changes included:
Removing MBBR carriers from certain zones to improve mixing and operational reliability. The MBR system was provided in a 20-foot insulated High Cube container with integrated blowers, membrane tanks, MicroClear MB3-1 membranes, CIP system, controls, and new UV disinfection units.
Replacing the final treatment step with an MBR for advanced biological treatment and solids separation.
Converting the secondary clarifiers to post-anoxic reactors with external carbon feed for enhanced denitrification.
Modifying the primary clarifier into an aerobic sludge digester and integrating a Trash Tank with screening and grinding capabilities.
RESULTS
Effluent now exhibits very low BOD, TSS, and turbidity, enabling effective UV disinfection.
The modular system streamlined installation and commissioning, with start-up completed one month after delivery.
The retrofit addressed both capacity needs and effluent performance, extending the useful life of the existing infrastructure.
