Upgrade Aging Plants with FibrePlate MBR Retrofit Solutions
Aging municipal wastewater treatment plants face increasing pressure to meet stricter effluent standards while operating within existing site boundaries. FibrePlate MBR retrofit solutions enable plant operators to achieve advanced treatment performance by integrating membrane bioreactor technology into existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for costly plant expansion.
The FibrePlate flat-plate membrane design is specifically engineered for retrofit applications, offering a compact footprint that fits within existing tankage. By replacing conventional secondary clarifiers with membrane separation, plants gain immediate improvements in effluent quality including superior TSS, BOD, and pathogen removal — all within the same physical space.
Fibracast works closely with municipalities and their engineering partners to develop site-specific retrofit strategies that minimize construction disruption, maintain treatment capacity during installation, and deliver rapid commissioning. The result is a modernized facility that meets current and anticipated future regulations without the capital cost of a greenfield build.
