ABOUT
Our business is simple: wastewater enters a water treatment installation, clean water goes out to be reused. In between is a membrane that stops microorganisms and waste particles. Such membranes are often vulnerable. A risk that is too great for most companies.
In 2005, research organisation VITO had the idea of finding a solution to that problem. The research resulted in a membrane with a 3D coating that makes it unbreakable. Blue Foot was founded in 2017 with the aim of bringing that patented technology to the market.
Today, Blue Foot supplies reliable process technology for membrane bioreactors (MBR) on a production level.
