This revolutionary aerobic wastewater treatment solution is modular and reduces energy usage by up to 90% compared to conventional treatment. This low energy consumption allows for decentralized treatment off the power grid.

Due to the high nutrient removal and energy efficiency – the MABR stands strong in obtaining the optimal performance and quality of product water. The self-respiring, spirally wound membrane envelope, passively delivers oxygen directly into the wastewater, to encourage the perfect environment for bacteria to grow.

Carefully designed and calibrated, with premium assembled parts, whether in retrofit or packaged configuration – this solution gives you just the right amount of assurance to push the boundaries beyond expectation.

Our partnership with premium technology providers, brings to life a bigger choice in getting communities connected to a more sustainable alternative wastewater treatment product.
