WHY MBBR TECHNOLOGY?
Small Boss produce mbbr filter media treatment primarily to remove biodegradable contaminants in wastewater. The Small Boss Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) biological treatment method uses small pieces of carrier material which are designed to maximize surface area and promote biomass growth. The MBBR tank is filled with these carriers, typically 15-70% by volume. The tank is aerated to feed the biomass and circulate the carriers throughout the tank, hence the ‘moving bed’ description. The bacteria grow on the carriers and consume contaminants, converting them to more biomass which can then leave the tank and be separated with a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system or another form of clarification.
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) processes improve reliability, simplify operation, and require less space than traditional wastewater treatment systems.
MBBR technology employs thousands of polyethylene biofilm carriers operating in mixed motion within an aerated wastewater treatment basin. Each individual biocarrier increases productivity through providing protected surface area to support the growth of heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria within its cells. It is this high-density population of bacteria that achieves high-rate biodegradation within the system, while also offering process reliability and ease of operation.
This technology provides cost-effective treatment with minimal maintenance since MBBR processes self-maintain an optimum level of productive biofilm. Additionally, the biofilm attached to the mobile biocarriers within the system automatically responds to load fluctuations.

If you used MBBR technology to remove Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) from wastewater, as well as to remove nitrogen and nitrogen-based compounds, phosphorous, and some forms of chemical oxygen demand (COD). Small Boss's filter media is your best choice, not only in industrial and municipal, but also in aquaculture. |
