Launched by H2O Innovation in 2015, the flexMBR™ is the first open-source membrane bioreactor design that can operate MBR modules from different suppliers. This pioneering technology provides flexibility to switch from one membrane to another without having to redesign the entire plant.

Our unique approach has allowed us to build MBRs with 5 of the leading membrane manufacturers, giving us an educated and unique perspective on both process and system design for your project. To date, we have built MBR facilities with hollow-fiber, flat-sheet polymeric and flat-sheet ceramic membranes.

The SILO is a simplified approach to membrane bioreactor (MBR) treatment for smaller applications where ease of operation and low maintenance is necessary. This system is geared toward populations between 100 and 2000 people. It defines simplicity with very little automation and only six moving parts while still using the most advanced wastewater treatment process, the MBR.

NF/RO applications are used to remove unwanted salts and contaminants from a feed water stream. It is commonly used in drinking water, water reuse and desalination applications. Systems are designed to achieve removal of TDS, TOC, alkalinity, sodium, chloride, phosphate, iron, manganese, arsenic, boron and other salts or contaminants based on membrane projections which simulate the rejection of these contaminants by the NF/RO membrane.

Ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF) membrane systems are used in drinking water, water reuse and pre-treatment applications for removal of turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), particulates, viruses, bacteria and other contaminants typically found in surface water, seawater, wastewater and other sources.

H2O Innovation provides complete UF/MF systems from small pilot units to large, multi-train facilities. Our open source model allows the system to be custom-designed around several different products and membrane materials to meet the clients’ requirements and preferences.
