The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) solution is a biological wastewater treatment and biological water treatment processes where biofilm grows on carriers suspended in wastewater.
This biological wastewater treatment and biological water treatment process treats pollutants in a cost-efficient way and it is used almost all municipal and industrial market sectors such as food and beverage, mining, oil and gas, and pulp and paper. AnoxKaldnes® provides MBBR based solutions that specifically address the customer, application and market.
MBBR is a stand-alone system which means there is no need for sludge recirculation, leaving only surplus biomass to be removed through downstream separation technology.
Reactors can be used for aerobic, anoxic or anaerobic processes MBBR technology offers the following advantages:
- Compact footprint
- Simple to operate
- Flexibility in choice of downstream separation
- Robust and stable with influent changes
- East to retrofit to existing infrastructure
- High lifetime
- Resistant process (convenient for toxic wastewater)
- High specific surface for microorganisms ‘growth
MBBR biofilm technology is commonly applied:
- To small or remote operation municipalities
- When upgrading or retrofitting medium-sized plants to increase performance
- During tertiary applications where effluent quality is a priority
- In drinking water applications for low concentration removals
- At large plants requiring a minimum footprint
- To industrial applications where:
- Production changes challenge conventional treatment.
- Simple operation and robustness provide added security.
- Complex compounds require advanced treatment.
A packaged MBBR solution is suited to certain municipal or industrial applications. These cases are often characterised by small flows, seasonal operations and/or remote locations.
Parameters
