MBBR System

 


The MBBR is a highly successful biological treatment technique that combines traditional activated sludge with biofilm medium. Within the aeration and anoxic tanks, the MBBR process employs floating High-Capacity Microorganism Biochips medium. Organic material is consumed by the microbes. The medium increases the surface area available for biological microorganisms to stick and grow on. The increased surface area minimizes the footprint of the wastewater treatment tanks. The treatment procedure might be aerobic or anaerobic, with large volume loads. 

MBBR Advantages 

  • Small units with a compact area 

  • Enhanced treatment capacity 

  • Complete elimination of solids 

  • improved settling properties 

  • Higher suspended biomass operation 

  • Long sludge retention durations due to high concentrations 

  • Process stability has been improved. 

  • Head loss is minimal. 

  • There is no filter channeling. 

  • There is no need for frequent backwashing. 

  • Reduced sludge production and no sludge bulking issues. 

How MBBR Works 

To enhance the number of microorganisms accessible to treat the wastewater, the MBBR method employs floating plastic carriers (media) within the aeration tank. Organic material is consumed by the microbes. The medium increases the surface area available for biological microorganisms to cling to and flourish in the aeration tanks. The increased surface area minimizes the footprint of the wastewater treatment tanks. Bubbles from the aeration system that provides oxygen at the bottom of the first compartment of the aeration tank continually stir the medium. Organic material is consumed by the microbes. It outperforms standard secondary treatment in terms of efficiency and value. 

In fact, MBBR media or biochips have an active surface area larger than 4000 m2/m3, which is up to six (6) times greater than any comparable media on the market today.The MBBR is a full mix, continuous flow through process based on the biofilms concept that combines the benefits of both the activated sludge process and traditional fixed film systems while eliminating their drawbacks.
