Compact, robust wastewater treatment designed for high-quality reuse

Aquatec Maxcon’s membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems can integrate with a range of membrane types and pore sizes, including flat sheet, hollow fibre and hybrid systems, to produce high-quality treated water suitable for reuse. Designed for municipal, industrial and remote applications, our MBR provides a compact alternative to conventional treatment systems.

Why Aquatec Maxcon?

Aquatec Maxcon is a pioneer of MBR systems in Australia, having designed and constructed Australia’s first MBR installation at the Picnic Bay Water Recycling Plant in 2003.

With over 55 years of water and wastewater treatment experience and more than 35 MBR systems supplied, Aquatec Maxcon brings proven Australian experience to membrane treatment projects. Our capability also extends to membrane selection and configuration, helping optimise whole-of-life costs and process suitability.

Key advantages include:

• Smaller footprint – The membrane configuration delivers a footprint saving of more than 50%, helping reduce tankage and civil works requirements.
• Lower whole-of-life costs – Reduced capital expenditure, lower energy requirements, automated operation and simplified maintenance help minimise lifecycle costs.
• Robust membrane technology – Submerged membranes are designed for durability and a long service life.
• Reduced maintenance – An unobstructed flow path reduces debris collection, while automatic in-situ cleaning can assist recovery following plant upsets.
• Long membrane life – An expected membrane life of more than 5 years under normal operating conditions.
• Flexible packaged solutions – Systems can be custom designed as transportable packaged plants incorporating screening, bioreactor, MBR and aeration systems, making them suitable for remote locations. For larger plants, systems can also be incorporated into concrete tanks.
