RSE Wins 2025’s IChemE Global Award for Water for the m-MBBR® Modular Treatment System

RSE is proud to announce that our m-MBBR® modular wastewater treatment system has won the 2025 IChemE Global Award for Water at this year’s prestigious awards ceremony in Manchester.

This recognition from the Institution of Chemical Engineers highlights the impact of the m-MBBR® product as a next-generation solution for wastewater treatment which combines efficiency, scalability, and sustainability with the engineering excellence that underpins every RSE innovation.

A milestone for offsite innovation as developed through our offsite manufacturing model, the m-MBBR® system delivers a modular, adaptable, and low-carbon approach to wastewater treatment. The solution has been engineered for rapid deployment, repeatability, and high-performance treatment, ensuring it can support clients across a diverse range of sectors.

This award not only celebrates the technology behind the product, but also the unique delivery model that allows RSE to accelerate programmes while reducing environmental impact.

A Collaborative Achievement

The evolution of the m-MBBR® system has been a true team effort. The early-stage concept design and pilot trials have led to product refinement deployment that our teams across the RSE Group have played an integral role in bringing the product to where it is today.

We extend our thanks to every engineer, fabricator, project delivery specialist, and product development team member whose hard work has shaped this achievement. We are also grateful to our clients and partners for their trust, collaboration, and continued commitment to improving water quality.

Driving the Future of Water Products

Winning this IChemE award is an important milestone, but it also fuels our ambition to continue pushing innovation in wastewater treatment.

The m-MBBR® system is part of our wider strategy to develop smart, sustainable, and modular product solutions that support the needs of the water sector now and into the future.

We look forward to building on this success and continuing to deliver products that create real impact for communities, industry, and the environment.
