French term or phrase: une unité de traitement membranaire (OI – UF et MG)

This is from a list of equipment used by a company to analyse and treat waste water. The bit that's puzzling me is the "MG".

As far as I can tell, OI= osmose inverse (reverse osmosis), and UF=ultrafiltration. But what's MG?

Any specialists out there?

TIA

Explanation:
If it isn't Microbial Granulation (which a) I'm not sure is widely used yet, and b) is not TTBOMK an membrane process), might it not be a typo for MF (G being beside F on the keyboard)? This one appears to have been omitted from your list otherwise.

Thanks, Alex - I left it as MG but suggested to my client (an agency) that it may be an error. Microfiltration is indeed mentioned elsewhere in the document, whereas microbial granulation isn't.
