EMBRANE AERATED BIOFILM REACTORS
(MABR) are a disruptive technology, making their
mark on the global water industry as they demonstrate
their immense potential to help increase the biological
treatment capacity of existing or new build activated
sludge plants. The flexibility of the technology, combined with
its exceptional energy efficiency and compact footprint, makes
it an attractive proposition for plant operators dealing with the
twin pressures of increasing process demand and the need to
reduce the environmental impact of their operations.
