How MABR transforms water treatment, the shift from bubble aeration to membrane diffusion brings several distinct advantages to wastewater management. MEB Energy leverages these benefits to build highly efficient treatment plants for diverse applications.

Massive Energy Reductions

The most significant advantage of the Fluence Aspiral MABR technology is its energy efficiency. Traditional aeration accounts for roughly 60% of a standard wastewater treatment plant’s total energy consumption. By using low-pressure passive diffusion, MABR systems can reduce aeration energy requirements by up to 90%. This massive reduction in electricity usage translates directly into lower operating costs and a much smaller carbon footprint for the facility.

Compact Footprint for Decentralized Use

Space is a major limitation for many growing municipalities and expanding industrial sites. Conventional treatment plants require large, deep tanks to allow bubbles enough time to transfer oxygen to the water.

MEB Energy provides a clear path forward through its MABR water solutions. By slashing energy consumption, reducing physical footprints, and delivering incredibly clean effluent, this technology solves the most pressing challenges in water management today.

Case Study

A revolutionary approach to water supply

To cope with a crippling and prolonged drought crisis, MEB installed a containerized desalination plant at Richards Bay, South Africa. The project was completed in just seven months. The containers were easily transported to the designated location.1
