Design Considerations & Challenges - Q&A with OxyMem’s HOPE Ninja One aspect in the engineering world that is just as important as building a project, is building your project culture. Arranging a team, creating the best development process and optimising that process is a science. And not an easy one. Eoin Mulholland is affectionately known as OxyMem’s HOPE Ninja (Head Of Project Engineering). Eoin has been handed the baton of development for the Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor from those who have championed it for over 15 years in University College Dublin, Ireland.

Eliminating the Oil & Gas Industry’s Impact on Climate Change MABR is one of the Most Environmentally Friendly Biological Wastewater Treatment Processes Today Climate change is the most significant environmental concern of our lifetimes and it is widely agreed that comprehensive international action is essential. Data on the topic has established the oil and gas sector as a major contributor to the emission of greenhouse gases. With an increasing push to limit greenhouse emissions by 2020, stronger pollution controls on oil and gas operations, as well as power plants, are being examined by governments.

Water Reuse - Taking the 'Waste' out of Wastewater The negative connotations of “waste” in the term “wastewater” deter many from thinking about it as a reusable resource. Wastewater or “used water” is not just re-usable, it is a valuable resource that can contribute to poverty reduction efforts, food security and sustainable energy use. There is huge unrealised potential for economic gains, particularly in fast developing economies where water and resource scarcity is a major issue.

Imagine H2O – At The Forefront Of An Innovation Wave There is an exciting window of opportunity in the water industry. Water companies are beginning to emergine that are at the forefront of a new innovation wave. However, challenges exist in commercialising innovative water technologies to address the very real issues we face in this industry.

Have You Got Aspirations of an Energy Neutral Wastewater Treatment Plant? Energy Neutral Wastewater Treatment Plant Concept Even though the concept of an energy neutral wastewater treatment plant is a relatively new one - there are a large number of innovative technologies and smart approaches which are creating a template for energy neutrality for wastewater treatment plants of the future.
