Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor Process
It is a simplified operational system that typically provides higher removal performance than usual waste water treatment frameworks.
MBBR technology employs thousands of polyethylene bio-film carriers operating in mixed motion within an aerated wastewater treatment basin. Each individual bio-carrier increases productivity through providing protected surface area to support the growth of heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria within its cells. It is this high-density population of bacteria that achieves high-rate biodegradation within the system, while also offering process reliability and ease of operation.
MBBR Reactor Advantages
- Flexible Response to the waste water treatments projects.
- Lower capital cost
- Higher BOD/COD removal efficiency.
- Higher resistance to shock loading.
- Consistent performance, quick and easy Installations
- Produces high effluent qualities and tolerates variations in biological and solids loadings.
- No Backwashes are required,
- Minimal process monitoring is required releasing valuable operator time.
- No moving or serviceable parts.
- Less power requirement.
Moving Bed Reactor Contaminants Removed
Solids, removal of BOD, removal of Nitrogen and Phosphorous.
MBBR Technology
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) processes improve reliability, simplify operation, and require less space than traditional wastewater treatment systems.
MBBR technology employs thousands of polyethylene biofilm carriers operating in mixed motion within an aerated wastewater treatment basin. Each individual biocarrier increases productivity through providing protected surface area to support the growth of heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria within its cells. It is this high-density population of bacteria that achieves high-rate biodegradation within the system, while also offering process reliability and ease of operation.
This technology provides cost-effective treatment with minimal maintenance since MBBR processes self-maintain an optimum level of productive biofilm. Additionally, the biofilm attached to the mobile biocarriers within the system automatically responds to load fluctuations.
Moving Bed Bioreactor Process Benefits
Compact Design: A fraction of the size of conventional systems
Expandable : Capacity can be easily upgraded by simply increasing the fill fraction of biofilm carriers
Single Pass Process: No return activated sludge stream required
Load Responsive: Actively sloughed biofilm automatically responds to load fluctuations
Minimal Maintenance: No F/M ratios or MLSS levels to maintain
MBBR processes are an excellent solution for common wastewater applications including:
- BOD Reduction
- Nitrification
- Total Nitrogen Removal
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor systems deliver a flexible, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate means to address current wastewater requirements and the expandability to meet future loads or more stringent discharge requirements within a compact design.
