MBBR System
The MBBR System is widely used in wastewater treatment plants due to its highly efficient technology combined with a smaller installed footprint. The MBBR media combine suspended biomass with attached biomass, forming a biological biofilm with a high concentration of bacteria to degrade the organic load of the wastewater.
The great advantage of the MBBR system is the smaller installed area, requiring 2 to 3 times less space than conventional systems.
Features and operation
Technical details
Aeration systems using MBBR media are recommended with tank fill ratios of 30% to 60%, depending on the type of wastewater and the air distribution design. For the system to work, the MBBR media must be kept in suspension; being a low-density plastic material, it is easily suspended by the agitation and mixing caused by air injection into the aeration tank. During mixing, the suspended liquid biomass comes into contact with the media biofilm, increasing contact time and cell retention and generating greater capacity to degrade carbonaceous and nitrogenous organic matter, resulting in an excellent reduction of BOD and COD.
To design the MBBR system, we have a wide variety of media available, with different densities, shapes, contact areas and more, to meet the specific needs of each project. In general, the MBBR media most used in projects have a contact area of 500 to 650 m²/m³, for the best cost-benefit.
The aeration used in MBBR systems is generally coarse bubble diffuser aeration, but to meet the demands of some projects, we can also apply fine bubble diffusers.
Available capacity: 5 to 1,000 m³/h.
