About MCBA

What we do

MCBA publishes in-depth, decision-ready guides on industrial water and wastewater treatment — from dissolved air flotation and membrane bioreactors to sludge dewatering and UK discharge compliance. Our readers are process engineers, facility and operations managers, and environmental consultants who need accurate technical reference, not marketing.

Who writes our content

Every article carries a named author with verifiable professional credentials. Our contributors are chartered engineers and environmental specialists with direct, hands-on experience designing, commissioning and permitting treatment plant. You can read their profiles from any article byline.

Our editorial standards

• Accuracy first. Technical claims, design parameters and figures are checked against recognised references (e.g. Metcalf & Eddy, WEF and IWA manuals) and primary regulatory sources.
• Sourced statistics. Quantitative claims cite a credible source wherever practical.
• No undisclosed commercial bias. MCBA does not sell equipment; guidance is technology-neutral and compares options on engineering merit.
• Kept current. Articles show a last-updated date and are reviewed on a rolling schedule so guidance reflects current practice and regulation.

How we review and correct content

Drafts are written by a subject-matter author and reviewed for technical accuracy before publication. We welcome corrections: if you spot an error or have field data that improves a guide, contact us and we will review it promptly, update the article, and record the change in the last-modified date.

Disclaimer

MCBA articles provide general engineering guidance for information only. Treatment design is site-specific and depends on your actual water analysis, flows and discharge consent. Always engage a qualified engineer for detailed design and a competent person for regulatory compliance.
