Have a look at what they have to say about OxyMem's award winning products and service. ![Severn Trent](https://www.oxymem.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2019%20HubSpot%20Redevelopment/Logos/Severn%20Trent%20Logo.png?width=320&height=134&name=Severn%20Trent%20Logo.png) As a leading Water Utility serving 8.5 million customers in the UK, we are constantly on the look-out for game-changing innovative technologies and approaches that will bolster our position as effective leaders in wastewater treatment. We’ve been working closely with OxyMem for a number of years, facilitating the development of their MABR technology by providing testing facilities at our Minworth WWTP. The exciting potential of the MABR technology and the strength of the OxyMem team were immediately apparent to us, and we continue to work together to assess the best opportunities for MABR technology to upgrade our treatment plants to meet the twin challenges of tightening effluent standards and to cater for population growth. #### Pete Vale Technical Lead, Innovation, Severn Trent, UK ![Jacobs](https://www.oxymem.com/hs-fs/hubfs/client%20logos/jacobs_logo_blue.jpg?width=300&height=46&name=jacobs_logo_blue.jpg) As Global Technology Leader for Jacobs’ Wastewater Treatment Practice, I and my team are constantly on the lookout for transformative and market disruptive technologies that can assist our clients around the globe. With its simplicity of implementation and demonstrated ability to couple process intensification with energy optimization (contributing towards a pathway to energy self-sufficiency), MABR is definitely a technology that we are excited about and are actively applying.   #### Tim Constantine Jacobs, Canada ![VCS_logo_UK_rgb_75px](https://www.oxymem.com/hs-fs/hubfs/VCS_logo_UK_rgb_75px.jpeg?width=179&height=75&name=VCS_logo_UK_rgb_75px.jpeg) Compared to traditional wastewater treatment, MABR is a smarter way to provide aeration and a smarter way to do BNR. As a young water professional, I’m aware of the challenges my generation is going to face and I believe MABR can play a key role in helping us transition towards the more sustainable resource recovery facilities of the future. #### Nerea Uri Carreño VCS, Denmark ![Severn Trent Logo](https://www.oxymem.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2019%20HubSpot%20Redevelopment/Client-Logos/Severn%20Trent%20Logo.png?width=320&height=134&name=Severn%20Trent%20Logo.png) As a leading Water Utility serving 8.5 million customers in the UK, we are constantly on the look-out for game-changing innovative technologies and approaches that will bolster our position as effective leaders in wastewater treatment.

Since then the treatment of wastewater has been using bubble aeration to treat wastewater. This is a highly wasteful process as 60-70% of the energy is often lost to the atmosphere when the bubbles burst at the water surface.    **On a global scale, conventional wastewater treatment typically consumes 2-3% of the total national electricity production. **   **Operators have had to endure increasing energy demands, the cost of skilled labor and significant ongoing waste sludge disposal costs.**   **OxyMem is the first to make the Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) commercially available.**   #### Easy To Install Modules Our modules can be installed without the need to stop flow/production or add additional infrastructure. Civil modifications along with site-time is minimal; avoiding disruption of your current production or processes.   #### Increased Biological Treatment Capacity  Our ‘drop-in’ technology increases the amount of wastewater that can be treated within the existing biological tank on site. Enhanced biological treatment performance, easy deployment and control enables this.   #### Less Energy Consumption A significant increase in oxygen transfer efficiency and overall aeration system efficiency, coupled with the ideal habitat for biofilm growth means our solution can help move plants away from a 100 year old energy-intense bubble design. ## Discover the Next Generation of Aeration Our resources will help you obtain the information you need when moving towards an environmentally sustainable wastewater system for your particular location or industry.
