OCTO Nano: Micro-Scale MBR, Engineered for the Edge of the Grid

OCTO Nano is a groundbreaking micro-scale Membrane Bioreactor that delivers exceptional wastewater treatment in a compact, self-contained unit. Designed to operate without chemicals, with minimal energy use and maximum efficiency, it sets a new standard for sustainable sanitation in decentralised and mobile settings.

Capable of serving up to 70 users per day, OCTO Nano is the ideal solution for homes, mobile cabins, remote locations, event sites and public toilet facilities. The system transforms blackwater into reusable, odour-free water for flushing, irrigation and other non-potable applications, closing the sanitation loop on-site.

With plug-and-play installation, a gravity-fed flow design and cutting-edge moisture separation, OCTO Nano empowers communities, operators and individuals to take control of water treatment in a way that is efficient, portable and planet-positive.

01

Compact & Powerful

Small footprint, big impact. Treats wastewater efficiently for up to 70 users per day, ideal for individual households, remote operations and mobile sanitation.

02

Chemical-Free Operation

Eco-friendly treatment that eliminates the need for harmful chemicals, protecting both people and the planet.

03

Water Recovery & Reuse

Converts blackwater into safe, reusable water for toilet flushing, irrigation and select non-potable uses, boosting circular water use on-site.

04

Elevated Hygiene Standards

Delivers odour-free, clean effluent that meets and exceeds global discharge standards, ready for safe reuse or release.

05

Low Energy & Maintenance

Engineered for minimal energy draw and very low maintenance. Ideal for off-grid and mobile installations with limited service access.

06

Fully Autonomous

Automated recirculation and treatment cycles run themselves. No specialist operator required, just scheduled service intervals.

07

Moisture Recovery Advantage

In specific use scenarios, the system can output more water than it receives, thanks to advanced moisture separation from solids.

08

Minimal Sludge, Minimal Fuss

Produces very low residual waste, streamlining cleanup and disposal across the entire service cycle.
