New at WEFTEC: Fluence Launches Submerged MABR for Treatment Plant Upgrades

At the recent WEFTEC expo in New Orleans, Fluence featured the SUBRE submerged membrane aerated bioreactor (MABR) technology as an efficient and cost-effective upgrade for existing wastewater treatment plants with conventional activated sludge processes. The system is designed to achieve high removal of total nitrogen and total phosphorus even in basins not designed for that purpose, and without reducing the basins’ treatment capacity. The Fluence MABR is built for low-energy treatment of municipal wastewater. It uses a spiral-wound, self-respiring membrane sleeve to provide aeration by diffusion. The membrane module at the heart of the system performs simultaneous BOD, nitrogen
