For treatment plants in need of an upgrade due to ageing assets or ever-tightening effluent standards, MABR technology now tops the list as a proven, robust and high-efficiency contender beyond traditional upgrade solutions. Where the technology was only considered for demonstrations a few years ago, today we see a number of clients and tenders specifying MABR as the chosen, optimum solution. This shift from the "norm" is only set to continue going forward as the technology is embraced globally.
Several countries have now embraced MABR as a treatment solution, and multiple municipalities have witnessed the benefits it offers.
Adoption of MABR is now global, projects are underway in multiple countries on several continents.
The UK has set a goal to achieve a net zero emissions standard by 2030. To achieve this goal, the water sector has developed a net-zero 2030 route map to help support its transition to a lower emissions future. Investing in new technologies to support this goal will be essential.
The largest MABR plant is now operational by Severn Trent; one of the leading water companies in the UK. In our recent customer voices video with Severn Trent, Bob Steer chief engineer stated, "for a long while now, we've been on the hunt for solutions that help us intensify those processes and especially reduce energy."
Well-developed nations that have older plants that need upgrading to meet stricter wastewater effluent standards can benefit from the OxyMem drop-in arrangement.
Noting only a few of the other countries already moving with the technology :- Scotland, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
MABR is also turning heads in Asia (China, Japan and Philippines) and a recent installation in Brazil has established the world's first reuse plant that combines OxyMem MABR and ultrafiltration technology together to provide a low energy, high effluent quality standard.
