Aquabio AMBR™ is a membrane bioreactor system for industrial wastewater treatment, using high crossflow ultrafiltration to achieve high flux rates and a compact footprint. Automated membrane banks adjust to plant throughput, reducing energy and membrane replacement costs. Produces solids-free permeate suitable for discharge or water reuse.

  • Membrane bioreactor system for industrial wastewater treatment

  • High biomass concentration allows smaller plant size

  • Automated operation matches membrane use to demand

  • Low membrane area reduces capital and replacement costs

  • Deep bioreactor tank increases aeration efficiency and lowers energy use

  • Solids-free permeate suitable for direct reuse or discharge

  • Modular design supports easy expansion and retrofitting

  • Remote access and standardised control software

Applications

  • Industrial wastewater treatment in food, beverage, brewery, distillery, dairy, chemical, and meat processing sectors

  • Secondary wastewater treatment for sewer or surface water discharge

  • Potable or demineralised water reuse with RO/UV integration

  • Sites with variable flows, high peak or seasonal loads, or moderate to high electricity costs

  • Nutrient removal, nitrification, and denitrification
