Elevating Effluent Standards: The Impact of OxyMem™ MABR at Monkmoor

OxyMem™ Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor modules seamlessly retrofit an existing treatment plant in Shrewsbury, England to help extend the plant’s capability and provide process intensification.  

The Monkmoor Sewage Treatment Works (STW) in Shrewsbury, England, faced challenges meeting new phosphorus and iron effluent limits while balancing increased population growth and maintaining nitrification safety. With projected population growth of 26% by 2033, the Severn Trent Water-operated plant aimed to intensify the existing STW.  

The installation of 48 OxyMem™ Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) modules at Monkmoor Sewage Treatment Works (STW) in Shrewsbury demonstrated the ability of the MABR system to seamlessly retrofit an existing treatment plant to provide process intensification and in this case to manage increased flows and loads associated with population increase—even in cold weather.

Read the case study to learn how OxyMem™ MABR modules can help municipalities quickly increase their nitrification capacity with a modular, drop-in solution without expanding the plant’s footprint.
