MBBR

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR)

BioprocessH2O Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors are commonly used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications. They provide pre-treatment of organics in wastewater systems. MBBR systems can effectively be integrated with industrial and municipal treatment systems for BOD removal, nitrification and denitrification.

MBBR systems consist of biofilm carriers that provide protected surface area for the acclimation process of bacteria. They are constructed of high density polyethylene and have an effective life of over fifteen years. These organisms are continuously sloughed and discharged along with the treated water, which makes MBBR systems ideal for the pretreatment of organic bearing water streams.

Multiple treatment configuration can be achieved using MBBR technology such as BOD/COD removal, nitrification, and denitrification.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Compact – The amount of biomass within a given volume can be doubled. 
Ease of Operation – Virtually maintenance free. Essentially nutrient levels and DO levels are the only controls needed for this system.
Flexible – BOD and Nitrogen removal can be included. For retrofits existing tanks can be used.
Stable – Self regulating biofilm ensures stable treatment under variable loads.
Sludge Production – Efficient particle separation and sludge treatment. No sludge return and  no clogging.
Low capital costs – The installation is based on traditional technical equipment.
Complete System Supply – We offer systems complete with the biofilm carriers, aeration, retention sieves, mixing, tanks as well as any tertiary treatment or additional equipment to suit the design.
