A membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a relatively new technology for aerobic wastewater treatment. It treats storm and sewage water using less energy and fewer chemicals. The technology promotes a high rate of oxygen transfer to the microbes, which break down pollutants in wastewater. MABR uses a permeable membrane to transfer oxygen directly to these microorganisms, as opposed to the traditional method of pumping air and diffusing it in the form of bubbles. Because it is a more passive form of aeration, it requires less energy. Fluence Corporation offers MABR technology for small and medium-sized installations, as well as the retrofitting of existing plants. Energy savings as high as 90 percent are reported compared to conventional plants. This makes the technology suitable for use with alternative off-grid energy sources and decentralized treatment.
