Advantages &Applications of MBBR Technologies
Advantages
Dynamic Water Phase Fixed Films
• No problems with odors, snails or red-worms as in air phase fixed films.
• Easier transfer of contaminants and oxygen to the biomass.
• Biofilm thickness is maintained and controlled by continuous sloughing created by the aeration-mixing process.
• NO attrition of media – plants 20 years old are still using original media
Why MBBR?
• Self regulating biomass.
• Flexible Design that allows for increased capacity.
• No operational adjustments, only equipment maintenance.
• Stable under large load variations.
• Smaller foot prints.
• Low investment Cost.
• Single pass treatment.
• Multiple applications.
• Extremely compact and simple biological treatment system.
Applications
BOD / COD Removal
|
• High loads • Up to 6000 mg/l • Small foot print • Single pass treatment • No recycle • No operator adjustments • Biology self regulating • Low BOD effluent • 50% to 80 % reduction in 30 minutes • < 10 mg/l BOD (after clarification) |
 |
Biological Phosphorous Removal
•Decreases tank volume required for BOD/COD and Nitrification allowing room for Bio-P and De-nitrification.
• Allows for the suspended growth sludge age to be tailored for maximum phosphorus removal.
• Nitrification biology grows on media and is not affected by low sludge ages of suspended growth.
More Applications:
Municipal Wastewater Treatment: MBBR systems are commonly used in the treatment of domestic wastewater from towns and cities.
Industrial Wastewater Treatment: MBBR technologies are effective in treating various types of industrial wastewater, including those generated by food processing plants, chemical industries, and pharmaceutical industries.
Nitrification and Denitrification: MBBR systems are efficient in nitrification, the conversion of ammonia to nitrate, and denitrification, the conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas, making them suitable for wastewater treatment plants that require removal of nitrogen.
Upgrading Existing Treatment Plants: MBBR systems can be used as an upgrade to existing activated sludge processes, improving their treatment efficiency without requiring significant infrastructure changes.
Overall, MBBR technologies offer numerous advantages and find wide applications in wastewater treatment, making them an effective and efficient solution for various industries and municipalities.
