Fluence has a full line of decentralized treatment solutions, from its robust line of containerized and packaged plants, to the latest MABR units. Fluence is a global leader in decentralized water and wastewater treatment solutions for the municipal, industrial, and commercial markets, with decades of expertise developing and implementing state-of-the-art decentralized treatment using our innovative and cost-efficient technologies for the benefits of customers across the globe.
By definition, decentralized systems convey, treat, reuse, or dispose of water or wastewater close to the supply point or source of generation. Decentralized water or wastewater treatment can be an ideal solution for a variety of public or private buildings or sites, including:
Small communities
School campuses
Malls
Resorts
Golf courses
Industrial plants
Mining, or oil and gas camps
Construction sites
It makes sense to choose a decentralized solution when there are limited alternatives, for instance, in remote areas; and when the cost of building delivery infrastructure to a centralized facility is higher than building a decentralized facility with a local network. Decentralized solutions also mean easier permitting, faster implementation, and reduced operating costs.
Fluence can deliver its decentralized treatment solutions as a turnkey project, leased equipment, or water-as-a-service (WaaS). Please check our project financing page for more information.
Our decentralized solutions include a range of containerized, pre-engineered, prefabricated, and packaged water and wastewater treatment systems.
Decentralized Water Treatment
Our NIROBOX™ product line features modular desalination, and water and wastewater treatment facilities installed in standard 40-foot shipping containers. The self-contained units are plug-and-play, easy to deploy, and more cost-effective than conventional plants. Larger plant capacity can be achieved by combining containers.
Nirobox can be used for seawater and brackish water desalination, removing contaminants from fresh water, and for the production of drinking, process, and ultrapure water.
The plants can be up and running in less than four months from receipt of the purchase order.
Decentralized Wastewater Treatment
For municipal wastewater treatment, our membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) product line is particularly suited to decentralized settings. Our products are pre-engineered and preassembled, and can be up and running in record time.
Our innovative MABR technology integrates a natural nitrification-denitrification process and passive aeration, which uses up to 90% less power than conventional aeration technology. MABR treatment produces effluent suitable for environmental discharge or irrigation.
We can also deploy our highly successful Tipton plants, which are proven and robust extended aeration packaged plants for municipal, commercial, and industrial applications. Fluence has dozens of reference sites using Tipton wastewater plants.
Finally, our NIROBOX™ WW wastewater treatment plant uses a membrane bioreactor (MBR) housed in a 40-foot container for easy deployment.
Decentralized Treatment for Reuse
The Fluence ECOBOX™ is a tertiary treatment suite housed in a 40-foot shipping container. It includes pretreatment, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, advanced oxidation, and disinfection. Our Ecobox product takes secondary effluents and produces process water or ultrapure water for industrial and commercial use.
Our plants are fully automated and are controlled by our innovative Smart Operation suite, which features real-time monitoring and response, as well as optimization of operating costs.
Are you looking for a localized water or wastewater treatment solution? Decentralized treatment can save money on distribution infrastructure, particularly when it comes to remote sites.

US$1.6M order for 2 Niroflex desalination trains in Egypt further strengthens SPS backlog
Project to be completed during 2022
Fluence Corporation (ASX:FLC) is pleased to announce that it has secured a Niroflex contract with an industrial company based in Egypt. The Niroflex process trains will desalinate 9,600 m3/day of brackish water and the project is anticipated to be completed during 2022. The facility will eventually be increased to approximately five times this capacity although the timing and financial...
In the past, there was no single trusted way for engineering consultants and utility owners to compare energy efficiency claims by various wastewater treatment manufacturers. Traditional measurement methods focused on different parameters and expressed energy in different formats leading to unreliable and inconsistent results.
To solve this problem, experts created the ISO 21939-1:2019 standard, a standardized means to express energy consumption for biological wastewater treatment processes. This method accounts...
The boom-bust cycle in the oil and gas industry is nothing new. Until COVID-19 shut-downs recently tanked oil prices, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) was driving an oil and gas exploration boom.
Energy booms bring housing booms with them. When the exploration rush is on, it’s hard to build housing units fast enough. But investing in them and the infrastructure that goes with them can be perilous when the new population may exit as quickly as it arrived. It’s an old story — in the 1950s, one...
A recent study may have been small, but its results came as a big surprise to some. Lead author Dr. Phillip Schwabi of the Medical University of Vienna and Dr. Bettina Liebermann of Environment Agency Austria found microplastics particles in the GI tracts of every human participant in the study, which the researchers presented at the prestigious 2019 United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week.
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are now found worldwide in rivers, lakes, the ocean, the soil, municipal...
In the United States, the winter of 2018-19 has been wet. In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported it as the wettest winter on record, with .02 inches more total precipitation than even the winter of 1997-98.
The West, which has been suffering from extended droughts, was wetter than usual. A higher-than-average snowpack in California should give depleted aquifers some relief.
It was even wetter in the Plains states, the Great Lakes region, the southern Appalachian Mountains,...
