Advanced Water Treatment
From Problematic to Potable
Get cleaner, safer well water or groundwater with our highly efficient process—without the chemical baggage—delivered through a packaged, decentralized, and surely advanced water treatment system.
What is BiRO+™?
Transform challenging groundwater into subsequently clean drinking water using BiRO+™, a cost-effective 3-stage process with biological water filtration, membrane purification, and re-mineralization. This process has lower operating costs and less waste than similar systems.
We designed this packaged water treatment solution not only for municipalities, utilities, and private developers, but also for remote facilities to remove iron, manganese, arsenic, ammonia, H₂S, and more.
BiRO+™ is not only modular but also plug-and-play across a range of nuanced sites.
Additionally, features can include:
- Cloud-based monitoring and SCADA integration
- Multiple disinfection options (chloramine, UV)
- Integration with other Flowpoint solutions
- Water storage
- Distribution pressure system
- Fully stand-alone and easily integrated
Our PROCESS
Advancing Packaged Water Treatment
A Three-Step Process
As noted, traditional water treatment solutions rely on excessive chemical additions and eventually significant fouling of their existing membranes. For that reason, these traditional systems tend to be more intensive, with frequent backwashing, resulting in unnecessary water loss, increased reliance on chemicals, higher energy demands, and a heavier maintenance burden.
BiRO+™ significantly changes that by using a cutting-edge, 3-stage advanced water treatment process:
01
Biological Water Filtration
Water flows through our high-performance ceramic media, colonized by natural bacteria that consume and remove contaminants such as iron, manganese, arsenic, ammonia, and H2S before the membrane stage. In fact, this biological filtration is the foundation of BiRO+™’s efficiency, extending downstream membrane life, reducing waste, and lowering operating costs.
02
Membrane Filtration
Altogether, fewer contaminants mean less fouling, reduced maintenance, and longer equipment lifespan. The membranes polish the water, removing trace impurities to produce highly purified, biologically stable water.
03
pH Adjustment and Re-mineralization
Reverse Osmosis (RO) can produce slightly acidic water, which can become corrosive and not ideal for distribution or taste. This final step restores pH balance and mineral content, protects infrastructure, and lastly maintains water quality. By fine-tuning only what’s needed, this phase of the decentralized water treatment process avoids costly chemical dosing, improves operational efficiency, and ensures regulatory compliance without additional waste.
When paired with reverse osmosis, you achieve even better results:
- No sludge residual build-up in the distribution water reservoir
- Reduce chlorine required for disinfection by up to 90% compared to other competitive systems, such as manganese greensand filtration.
- Biologically remove Fe, Mn, As, and NH3 without chemicals
- Produce stable water, which reduces the need for frequent membrane cleaning
- Lower operator requirements and reduced labor costs due to its simple process and advanced automation
- Does not require chemical regeneration or media replacement
- You can expect 10 years of membrane life
BiRO+ Advanced Water Treatment: Engineered for your site, not someone else’s
Oversized systems mean bloated budgets — in both CapEx and OpEx. That’s why Flowpoint engineers right-size a cost-effective packaged water treatment system tailored to your site, goals, and future growth.
Because BiRO+™ is often new territory for customers, many request a pilot system to prove its performance before scaling up. Our team is ready to support that need — and design a pilot that reflects your real-world operating conditions.
Flowpoint also offers engineered-to-order Nanofiltration, Ultrafiltration, or Microfiltration to treat surface or groundwater to regulatory standards.
Whether you’re just looking for options or ready to move forward, we’ll meet you wherever you are in the process.
Discovery
We start with your source water, then your existing infrastructure, and ultimately your end goals to assess pain points and treatment needs.
Concept
We model performance and estimate costs and impacts before initiating a BiRO+ design.
Design
Then, we create detailed 3D drawings and pricing for your review and approval.
Build & Deliver your Packaged Water Treatment Plant
At this stage, the design is complete. We then fabricate, test, and ship your system. Included with your decentralized water treatment system is a complete set of your own digital O&M documents.
Dependability you can count on
Flowpoint doesn’t just build solutions.
We emphatically stand behind them.
Fits Right In
Exterior options
With a wide range of exterior options from custom colors to brick or stone facades, you can completely customize your decentralized water treatment system to match the look as well as the feel of your location.
Flowpoint streamlined it
let’s Get Started
Clean water with less waste. Let’s make it happen.
For the most part, no two water treatment challenges are the same. That’s why we build a packaged water treatment solution specifically for your unique situation.
Whether you need a compact pilot plant for a hamlet or a multi-skid setup for a growing community, BiRO+™ scales to fit your needs. We’ll engineer your system to match your source water and site constraints.
