Veolia Evoqua Memcor MBR at a glance
The Dovient library currently covers 3 published troubleshooting guides for the Veolia Evoqua Memcor MBR, with 19 individual procedure steps distilled from OEM manuals and field experience. On average, a fix on this machine runs 6 steps and roughly 1.5 hrs on tools. Complexity is classified as expert-only, most procedures here involve safety-critical steps, specialised tooling, or OEM-only spares, and should not be attempted without proper training.
Failure modes to watch for
Every guide in the Veolia Evoqua Memcor MBR library lists the candidate root causes its procedure rules out. These are the distinct failure modes we've documented so far, a useful starting point if you don't yet know which specific alarm or symptom you're chasing.
Aeration blower running below design speed or on partial load due to a VFD fault or mechanical issue
Fine-bubble diffuser fouling increasing the pressure drop and reducing oxygen transfer efficiency
Sudden organic loading increase overwhelming the current aeration capacity
DO controller setpoint too low for the current MLSS concentration or temperature
Biocake accumulation on the membrane surface faster than aeration scour can remove it
High MLSS concentration in the bioreactor exceeding the design operating window
Aeration scour diffuser fouling or air supply reduction decreasing cross-flow velocity at the membrane surface
Inorganic scaling from calcium or iron exceeding the chemical CIP interval
Tools you'll need most
These tools are referenced most often across the Veolia Evoqua Memcor MBR troubleshooting guides. If you service this equipment regularly, keep them on the cart.

How to correct bioreactor dissolved oxygen deficiency on a Veolia Evoqua Memcor MBR system
DO below 1 mg/L in the bioreactor during normal loading means the aeration blowers are not delivering enough air. Check blower speed, discharge pressure, and diffuser condition before raising the DO setpoint.
How to recover from membrane fouling and flux decline on a Veolia Evoqua Memcor MBR system
TMP rising faster than normal or physical cleaning no longer recovering TMP means reversible fouling has crossed into irreversible. Perform a chemical clean-in-place (CIP) with hypochlorite and citric acid.
How to investigate permeate quality deterioration and high turbidity on a Veolia Evoqua Memcor MBR system
Elevated permeate turbidity means a broken fiber or a failed o-ring is allowing mixed liquor to bypass the membrane. Run an integrity test to identify the damaged cassette.
