Smart Solutions for an Optimised Footprint

The MemBox system is an innovative solution designed to reduce freshwater consumption by treating and reusing harvested water for irrigation, toilet flushing, and other non-potable applications.

Key Features

Efficient Filtration
Includes a sand filter system that can automatically backwash, ensuring consistent performance. The ultrafiltration (UF) system achieves high water recovery rates and achieves tap water standard.

Versatility
Depending on the source water quality, the treated water can be made potable.

Disinfection
Equipped with a dosing system for effective water disinfection, ensuring safety for non-potable uses.

Environmentally Friendly
Utilizes a UV system for disinfection without generating secondary pollution.

Deployed System

Sand Filter + Ultrafiltration Module

Tank + Disinfection System

Smart Solutions for an Optimised Footprint

Desalbox is a modular, compact desalination system designed to convert seawater or brackish water into clean, potable water, using membrane-based technologies like reverse osmosis (RO) or ultrafiltration (UF).

Key Features:

Efficient Design
Containerized systems enable rapid installation and commissioning, minimizing setup time and costs.

Unique Application
Suitable for off-site usage, where fresh water demand is scattered. Including Military Water supply, island residents, construction sites, oil drilling platforms.

Flexible Capacities
Can utilize 1 to 2 containers to produce freshwater ranging from 50 m³ to 2000 m³ per day, meeting diverse water demand requirements.

Cost Efficient
Optimized for affordability without compromising on performance or reliability.

Advanced Automation
Automatic switching of equipment, emergency operation, fault alarm, remote control, Communication with mobile phones, real-time monitoring of equipment operation.

Smart Solutions for an Optimised Footprint

Suntar’s MBR Box is a compact, modular wastewater treatment system that combines biological treatment with advanced membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology. It’s designed to deliver high-quality effluent in a small footprint, making it ideal for decentralised or small-scale wastewater treatment applications such as: residential and commercial areas, industrial wastewater, remote sites or temporary installations.

Key Features

Consistent Effluent Quality
Produces high-quality, stable effluent that meets environmental discharge regulations.

High Shock Load Resistance
Operates with MLSS concentrations 2–3 times higher than mainstream processes, ensuring reliable performance under variable conditions.

Advanced Automation
Features automated equipment switching, emergency operation capabilities, fault alarms, and remote control with real-time monitoring of equipment operation.

Smaller footprint
Water treatment capacity per ton versus space is reduced up to 50%.

Efficient
The assembly and commissioning of integrated equipment are completed on-site within 15 to 30 days.

Minimised Sludge Discharge
Designed for efficient sludge management, significantly reducing sludge output and associated handling costs.

Anoxic/Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AO MBR)
Biological treatment with membrane filtration. It removes organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus. BOD and COD will be reduced by micro-organisms.

Membrane filtration consists of ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes that separate the treated wastewater from the activated sludge.

Most Frequently Asked Questions

When should spiral wound membranes be used over other types?
Suntar’s spiral wound MF and UF membranes are typically used in non-water applications, including the extraction, purification, and concentration of various biopharmaceutical, food and beverage, and chemical products. Suntar’s spiral wound NF and RO membranes are used in both water and non-water applications .

Yes, we have worked with F&B, Pharma and Biotech companies for process applications which require sanitary grade membranes and systems and also provided pure water solutions for beverage companies as well.

The membranes are typically made from Polyethersulfone, Polysulfone, Polyamide. 

The feed stream passes through the membrane layers, where unwanted solutes are rejected, and purified product (permeate) flows into the central collection tube.

Performance is influenced by factors such as:

  • Membrane type (RO, NF, UF, MF)
  • Operating pressure and temperature
  • Feed water composition and fouling potential
  • Recovery rate

Pre-treatment (e.g., filtration, antiscalants), regular cleaning (CIP), and operating within design limits can minimize fouling issues like scaling, biofouling, or particulate fouling.
