NuRain system: decentralised wastewater treatment combining Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) and Gravity-Driven Membrane (GDM)

Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
CleanTech

NuRain developed an AGS-GDM wastewater-treatment technology at KAUST. It claims about 75% less energy use and over 60% less sludge than conventional activated sludge, and treated water fit for reuse. The technology went from lab prototype (2018) through pilot plants to a 100 m3/day full-scale unit (2022), operated at the Rabigh treatment plant in 2023.
