PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Branded as our “BLOX™” Systems, stormBLOX™, ecoBLOX® and microBLOX™ Systems are setting the new standard for membrane system excellence.
DESCRIPTION
A demonstration plant has been placed into operation close to Ovivo’s MBR Global Center of Excellence operations in Austin, TX. Branded as our “BLOX™” Systems, stormBLOX™, ecoBLOX® and our ready‐to‐operate microBLOX™ System are setting the new standard for membrane system excellence. BLOX™ technology is a high rate MBR System with design MLSS concentrations ranging from 3,000 to 30,000 mg/L and is capable in operating within varying flows and at higher pollutant loading. A microBLOX™ System can treat more waste than any other deployable technology in a given footprint. These systems provide efficiency in operational management, overall life cycle impact and have the capability to meet water sustainability goals, including reuse and the ever tightening nutrient discharge limits.
