Market-Leading Wastewater Treatment Technologies
At Fluence, our engineers have developed some of the most efficient and cost-effective wastewater treatment technologies on the market. Here are a few of our latest innovations in wastewater.
Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactors (MABR)
Our best-in-class membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) technology provides the most advanced class 1A-quality wastewater treatment in the industry, with power consumption up to 90% less than with traditional methods of aeration. Fluence’s MABR technology allows for simultaneous nitrification-denitrification and uses passive aeration, which is much more energy-efficient than the compressed-air aeration used in conventional treatment.
At Fluence, our latest anaerobic digestion innovation has focused on anaerobic MBR, a combination of anaerobic digestion and membrane bioreactor technology, which concentrates solid digestate without the use of centrifuges or dissolved air flotation (DAF). This new application:
- Can process a higher organic load than traditional technologies
- Reduces the volume required for digesters
- Provides better quality effluents
- Uses less polyelectrolyte
- Can be used to upgrade existing facilities
Fluence has decades of experience in the delivery of cost-effective, reliable, state-of-the-art aeration and mixing solutions. Our line of aerators and mixers is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Our SMARTAERATOR™ system is a highly innovative control system for new or existing aerators. It’s easy to implement, efficient, and cost-effective, reducing power consumption significantly.

Fluence Launches Energy Consumption Calculator for Wastewater Treatment Based on International Standard
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...

Water and Sanitation in Latin America Today
Across the region, today’s Latin America is experiencing water and sanitation problems. Although the region is highly urbanized, half of Latin America’s residents still are not connected to a sewage system. Nearly a quarter have no piped water access from an acceptable water system. And although about 26% of people in Latin America have some form of sanitation, like septic tanks or latrines, wastewater treatment plants serve only about 15% of wastewater produced, and even then, treatment quality often...
