2010 Design of an integrated sludge separator with membrane technology. The X-Flow Megablock is the sludge separation part of a large membrane Bio reactor (MBR) system for municipal wastewater. The membrane separation results in crystal clear, bacteria free water. Most MBR's are build up from conventional stainless-steel piping solutions which make them very costly. The X-Flow MBR is transformed into an almost "Lego –Style" modular product, which can be very easily installed and expanded. Parts are made using injection- and rotational molded recyclable plastics. Manufacturing cost is reduced by 50%! Due to advanced component design, fluid-flow and aeration are improved, resulting in unprecedented performance. The product won the German IF-design award in 2011. (X-Flow Norit was aquired by Pentair in 2012) The first Megablocks have been installed in a wastewater plant in Qatar early 2013.
