From Ireland
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications

In WWTPs, aeration is used to deliver oxygen to bacteria that breakdown pollutants in wastewater.The conventional method of adding oxygen by pumping air and diffusing it as air bubbles is very energy-intensive. Instead, MABR uses a gas permeable membrane to transfer oxygen directly to the microorganisms. Through this system, energy savings of 75% are observed. MABR can be deployed in a matter of days to supplement the biological treatment capacity of an existing Activated Sludge process. After implementation, a plant can increase its treatment capacity by 50%, allowing for either higher treatment capacity or higher effluent quality. The modules can be retrofitted within a WWTP of almost any size.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Unique and patented biofilm control system
  • Up to 7 times lower CO2 footprint due to reduced energy consumption
  • Reduces sludge by up to 50%

The Financial Benefits

  • Adds up to 50% additional capacity in ageing infrastructure, thus extending its lifespan
