Moving Bed Bio-Reactor (MBBR) Systems are designed to create a very large surface area for biological growth. Thanks to the biofilm carrier bed material, which is usually made of polyethylene and has various types, more biomass can be held in the reactor, more stable and higher treatment efficiencies can be achieved. The MBBR system can be applied in existing facilities. Thus, it allows the plant capacity to be increased without the need for additional tanks. The system provides both BOD/COD and nitrogen, phosphorus removal, and can be applied in domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants. Thanks to its flexible structure, it is a solution that provides cost advantage in newly established plants.
Applications
- Wastewater treatment plant capacity increase
- Wastewater treatment plant improvement applications (higher quality demand in effluent)
- Biological nutrient removal (BNR)
- Industrial wastewater treatment
Advantages
- Affordable; has low investment and operating costs compared to traditional applications.
- Takes up little space.
- In cases such as toxicity or flooding, the biofilm is completely unaffected and the system recovers faster.
- Provides stable nitrification even at low sludge age and low temperatures.
- Flexible design; can be applied to almost all activated sludge processes.
- Provides savings of up to 30% from air requirements.
- A practical solution for capacity increases.
- Provides high efficiency organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus removal.
- Anaerobic ammonium oxidation is possible in the biofilm reactor (MBBR) with real-time oxygen control.
