Hydro International and Brightwork BV have partnered to combine UK water industry expertise with leading Dutch filtration innovation, delivering advanced tertiary treatment solutions that support smart, reliable, compliant and future-ready wastewater performance.

The Brightwork MBF is an high-performance, moving bed media filtration system with integral Sand-Cycle® smart remote monitoring and control to help water companies ensure that final effluent is compliant with their permitted limits. 

The Brightwork MBF is designed to handle varying hydraulic and solids loads while excelling in both solids removal and biological conversion, making it a robust, adaptable solution for wastewater treatment plants of any scale.  The system is modular in design with components built off-site and ‘plug-and-play’ for easy installation, significantly reducing design and installation time and costs.

Applications

  • Wastewater treatment

  • Process water production

  • Cooling water conditioning

  • Surface water treatment

Benefits

Reduce design and installation costs

The Brightwork MBF is modular in design which significantly reduces design and installation costs and simplifies project delivery.

Get real-time visibility of performance

The integrated Sand-Cycle® system allows operators to monitor performance on unmanned sites via an online visualisation portal.

Rely on stable, consistent performance

The Brightwork MBF reliably handles variable hydraulic and solids loading, maintaining stable operation.

Technical information

Brightwork MBFs are designed modular systems and may be applied in a wide capacity range. Standard filters are available from a capacity as small as 4 m3/h up to and over capacities of 4,000 m3 /h. 

Single stand-alone units are typically constructed in stainless steel.  For large filter plant capacities, typically from 1,000 m3/h onwards, rectangular and circular concrete units are applied.

Brightwork MBF plants are configured, based on similar modular units, to accommodate the operating window and to meet the required consent levels.  Dedicated process design tools are used to determine the most economic lay-out.
