MBBR-Effluent treatment

MBBR Wastewater Treatment System

Aerobic treatment is a biological wastewater treatment process that takes place in the presence of oxygen. Aerobic biomass converts organics in the wastewater into carbon dioxide and new biomass.

Aerobic treatment technologies can act as stand-alone systems for treating raw wastewater, or can be used to polish anaerobically pretreated wastewater to further remove biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS). Aerobic technologies can also be used specifically as a biological nutrient removal system (BNR) to remove nitrogen and phosphorus.

MBBR is a proven fixed-film technology, ideal for industrial applications and a complimentary biological process with other treatment technologies such as Dissolved Air Flotation solutions

Cost effective – Design and implementation efficiencies ensure lower capital and operation costs than conventional alternatives.
Reduced maintenance – Elimination of plugging
Nitrogen removal without increased hydraulic retention time
Fixed-film biomass is attached to carriers designed to remain in the aeration basin even under hydraulic upset conditions. Due to biofilm layers on the media, toxic upsets typically do not affect all active biomass and recovery is much quicker than with suspended growth systems.
Expandable - Simple media addition allows for easy plant expansion to accommodate population growth or other needs for capacity.
Reliable media retention - Efficient use of non-clogging wedge wire screens ensures reliable retention of the biomass carriers in the bioreactor
Durable - Heavy duty carriers can exceed 20-year life expectancy, even under intense bioreactor mixing conditions.
