A Modular, Energy-Saving Approach To Wastewater Gaining Traction

A combination of urban sprawl, more stringent environmental regulations, and aging facilities is putting a huge strain on the wastewater operations at many municipalities. The good news is that membrane aerated biofilm reactor technology, also known as MABR, offers a compact and energy-efficient solution.

Once being pushed to the U.S. market, MABR is now attracting significant interest from consulting engineers and plant managers. Fluence, for example, has multiple offerings including the Aspiral, a decentralized line, and SUBRE, a retrofit line.

Ilan Wilf, global vice president of sales for Fluence, discusses how MABR is radically changing biological wastewater treatment in this Water Talk interview at WEFTEC 2019.
