Sclable Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors for Industrial and Municipal Treatment

What are Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBRs)?

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBRs) break down the organic waste in wastewater. Plastic carriers (or media) are used to grow a biofilm of beneficial microorganisms. The media move freely in the aeration tank, allowing the biofilm to continuously come into contact with fresh wastewater and remove organic matter.

How MBBRs Improve Wastewater Treatment

High-quality effluent consistently meets or exceeds regulatory discharge and reuse standards.

 

The system’s compact footprint makes it ideal for facilities with limited space compared to conventional setups.

 

Reduced sludge protection minimizes handling, disposal, and associated costs.

 

Low operator demand is achieved through advanced automation that reduces manual oversight and improves system reliability.

 

The system offers integrated treatment that combines biological treatment and membrane filtration into a single, efficient process.

Applications of MBBRs in Wastewater Treatment

Industrial Manufacturing

Widely used in Food and Beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries to handle variable, high-strength wastewater.

 

Municipal Wastewater

Ideal for upgrading existing plants and meeting tighter effluent standards with a compact footprint.

 

Oil and Gas

Applied to produced water treatment and refinery wastewater to effectively remove organic contaminants and nutrients.

 

Wineries

Efficiently treats organic-rich effluents with fluctuating loads.
