Not all reverse osmosis membranes are created equal, reverse osmosis (RO) is a desalination process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to purify water. However, the effectiveness of this process largely depends on the quality of the membrane itself.

Several factors can affect a membrane’s performance and lifespan, including:

  • System pressure and pH
  • Water temperature
  • Feedwater quality
  • Salt concentration
  • Permeate recovery rate

To get the best results, it’s crucial for the technology provider and the plant owner to work together to manage these variables.

Introducing the NIROBOX™

If you’re looking for a robust, custom water treatment system, you’ve come to the right place. Our NIROBOX™ solution is a cost-effective, containerized water treatment plant with a small footprint, used by leading companies worldwide.

High-quality, long-lasting membranes

Our RO membranes offer high selectivity (>90%) against most micropollutants (with a molecular weight ≥150 Da). This is especially important for water reclamation, as these contaminants can cause serious health issues.

The NIROBOX™ features a Clean-in-Place (CIP) procedure to clean the interior of the membranes, extending the system’s lifespan. With recovery rates of up to 50% and low chemical and energy consumption, it also reduces overall operational costs.

Compact and cost-effective
The NIROBOX™ family offers advanced treatment technologies in affordable and compact configurations. Its industry-leading capacity and compact “plant-in-a-box” design challenge conventional setups. This high-end technology reduces the need for constant operator attention, minimizing human error and plant downtime.

Our clients have successfully cut operational costs by leveraging our experience and market-leading solutions. We look forward to helping more businesses achieve the same.

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
