What is MBBR Technology?
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology is an advanced wastewater treatment method that utilises suspended plastic carriers as a medium for biofilm growth. Microorganisms attach to these carriers and break down organic pollutants in the wastewater, while oxygen is supplied to support aerobic biological processes. This innovative approach results in efficient and compact treatment systems capable of handling varying wastewater characteristics and flow rates.
Benefits of MBBR Technology
High Treatment Efficiency: Offers high removal rates of organic pollutants, nutrients, and other contaminants, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and producing high-quality treated water suitable for reuse or environmental discharge.
Compact Design: The modular and scalable design of MBBR systems requires minimal space, making them ideal for both new installations and retrofitting existing treatment facilities.
Reduced Chemical Use: By utilizing biological processes and membrane filtration, MBR technology minimizes the need for additional chemicals such as coagulants and flocculants, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Flexibility and Adaptability: MBBR systems can be easily tailored to meet specific wastewater treatment needs, accommodating fluctuations in flow rates, contaminant loads, and treatment objectives effectively.
Where Can MBBR Technology Be Used?
Industrial Wastewater:
Suitable for treating wastewater from various industries, including manufacturing, food and beverage, pulp and paper, and more, MBBR technology provides robust and reliable treatment solutions tailored to specific industrial wastewater characteristics and regulatory requirements.
Municipal Wastewater:
MBBR technology can effectively treat municipal wastewater, including domestic sewage and wastewater from commercial establishments, ensuring the removal of pollutants and safeguarding public health and the environment.
The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) process involves the following key stages:
Biofilm Formation:
Microorganisms attach to the plastic carriers and form a biofilm, which serves as a substrate for biological treatment.
Aerobic Biological Treatment:
Oxygen is supplied to support aerobic microbial activity, allowing microorganisms to metabolize and break down organic contaminants in the wastewater.
Clarification and Separation:
Treated wastewater is separated from the biomass and plastic carriers using settling tanks or clarifiers, followed by filtration or disinfection to produce clean and high-quality treated water ready for discharge or reuse.
Carrier Movement and Mixing:
The continuous movement of the plastic carriers within the reactor ensures efficient mixing and contact between the biofilm, microorganisms, and wastewater, enhancing treatment efficiency.
Additional Information
Optimised Solutions: Our MBBR systems are tailored to each client’s and application’s individual demands and requirements, resulting in optimized solutions that improve treatment efficiency while lowering operational costs.
