Is your wastewater treatment plant struggling to cope with current demands?

Is your wastewater treatment plant struggling to cope with current demands?

Is your treatment plant running at maximum capacity.
Would you like to treat more process load?

Did you know you can increase biological capacity and future-proof your facility without having to build new structures, drain tanks or stop the current process?

OxyMem Wastewater  Website Photos (22)MABR can offer you some real benefits over conventional methods of upgrading your wastewater treatment plant.

Increase biological capacity without needing additional land or major civil works 
Our ‘drop-in’ MABR modules can increase the biological treatment capacity of your tank by up to 50%. The OxyMem MABR modules can be retrofitted within a wastewater treatment plant of almost any size often without emptying the tank. It may be as easy as installing a pump on a guiderail system. This means that to upgrade there is no need to purchase additional land or to build new infrastructure; saving you land (footprint), time, effort and cost.

Quick and easy installation
OxyMem’s MABR modules are quick and easy to install. There is no need to stop the process flow or drain your tank and personnel are not placed at risk by entering confined spaces or gaseous environments. All installations are carried out safely from outside the tank and the installation process may take only a couple of days to complete. Once installed, a biofilm will grow on the advanced MABR membranes within a matter of weeks.

Lower operational cost

OxyMem does not rely on bubbles to deliver oxygen to the bacteria. Instead the latest MABR technology uses hollow tubes to deliver oxygen directly to bacteria which grows on the external surface of  gas permeable membranes.  The mechanism of delivering oxygen is extremely efficient and results in much smaller blowers than conventional systems where oxygen is delivered by pumping air through diffusers to create bubbles - a very energy intensive process.

Anglian Water (UK) Triple Carbon Reduction Project

Triple Carbon Reduction, Anglian Water, UK Supported by UK Water Services Regulation Authority, Ofwat We are proud to join Anglian Water Services and an extensive team of partnering companies and academia on the current Triple Carbon Reduction initiative, part of Ofwat's Water Breakthrough Challenge. OxyMem™The Triple Carbon Reduction project is an initiative that will demonstrate how MABR can help the sector minimise process emissions and energy consumption typically associated with municipal biological wastewater treatment. The Triple Carbon Reduction project aims to showcase an integrated solution addressing three potential carbon benefits, aligned with the objectives of the whole water industry to achieve Net Zero by 2030: Demonstrate a viable alternative wastewater treatment process (MABR - Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor) targeting elimination of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from secondary treatment; Achieve up to 85% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional treatment processes currently in use (i.e. “activated sludge”); Generate oxygen via electrolysis, to be utilised in the MABR process, and green hydrogen for use in applications that are currently challenging to decarbonise (i.e. diesel generators).

OxyMem MABR Enhanced ammonia removal

Enhanced WWTP nitrification with OxyMem™ MABR Faster, stronger, harder… OxyMem™ MABR (Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor) is a unique biofilm system that can be used to intensify existing wastewater treatment facilities. A microbial film is established on millions of tiny gas-permeable membranes. This biofilm breaks down wastewater pollutants effectively with highly efficient oxygen transfer. Ammonia removal can be enhanced with every additional OxyMem™ unit added.
