Municipal wastewater treatment. High capacity. Reliable filtration.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants must deliver consistent effluent quality as discharge requirements tighten, populations grow and infrastructure ages. BLUE FOOT's IPC® ultrafiltration membranes combine robust solids separation, true permeate backwashing and high membrane capacity for new-build MBR systems, plant upgrades and membrane replacements.
Higher standards. Greater demands on municipal plants.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants face increasing pressure to deliver consistent effluent quality, expand capacity and control operating costs, often within existing infrastructure.
Stricter discharge requirements.
Tighter effluent limits leave less room for variation. Treatment plants must maintain consistent performance across changing wastewater conditions.
Growing and fluctuating flows.
Population growth, seasonal demand and peak inflows increase pressure on treatment capacity. Plants need to handle changing hydraulic loads without compromising reliability.
Ageing plants. Limited space.
Upgrading older infrastructure often means working within existing tanks and site boundaries, leaving little room for conventional expansion.
Operating costs and maintenance.
Energy consumption, maintenance requirements and operator workload all affect long-term costs. Predictable operation is essential to efficient plant management.
Robust membrane design. Reliable municipal performance.
Consistent solids separation is essential in municipal MBR systems. BLUE FOOT's IPC® membranes combine two ultrafiltration layers cast directly into a non-compressible 3D textile support. This integrated construction enables effective permeate backwashing, while high membrane area provides flexibility for new installations and existing treatment plants.
One membrane technology. Different municipal applications.
From new municipal MBR plants to upgrades and decentralised wastewater treatment, IPC® modules deliver flexible membrane capacity across different project requirements.
New-build MBR.
Design new municipal membrane bioreactor plants around high-capacity, backwashable IPC® modules. Compact configurations combine efficient use of space with consistent solids separation.
WWTP upgrades & replacement.
Increase membrane capacity or replace existing MBR membranes with robust, backwashable technology. Module configurations are selected around the existing installation.
Decentralised MBR.
Bring compact membrane filtration to communities and locations beyond centralised wastewater networks, with modular configurations for different treatment capacities.
