Total off-grid water treatment. Sewage goes in, potable water comes out.
Available in all sizes, even small enough for single-family residential applications.
Yeah, it's German.

Waste Water Recycling
The Busse MBR technology reliably ensures the cleaning and disinfection of domestic waste water by a stable biologicalprocess and the membrane barrier. Due to this the waste water is made fit for use as re-use water. The operating costs of the plant are only a fraction of the costs for drinking water and the charges for waste water. Therefore recycling is an ecological alternative – especially as the re-use water can be used for watering the garden or flushing toilets. With additional modules it can also be used for washing machines or to fill up pools, etc. |
