MBBR — Moving Bed Bio-Reactor

Compact, low-power, self-regulating biological treatment

01 — Overview

How it works

MBBR technology is a better alternative to conventional wastewater treatment plants that are large-sized, power intensive and require constant monitoring. Free-moving biofilm carriers under constant aeration host the bacteria that break down organic load, followed by clarification and tertiary polishing.

MBBR Reactor

Free-moving carriers create a large protected biofilm surface while coarse-bubble aeration supplies oxygen and mixing.

04 — Advantages

Why MBBR

01

Odourless operation with a self-regulating system.

02

High biofilm surface area — compact plants with high loading rates.

03

Reduced power consumption compared with conventional activated sludge.

04

Simple to operate, with low maintenance requirements.

05

Non-clogging design and better oxygen transfer efficiency.

06

Attached growth process — no sludge recycling, high MLSS maintained.

07

Easy to monitor; removes E. coli and coliform.

08

Capacity from 10 KLD to 2 MLD and above.
