Sequencing Batch Reactors for Flexible, High-Performance Wastewater Treatment

What are Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs)?

Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) are a single-step solution to lower flows and loadings. This product removes pollutants from wastewater in a series of steps. When wastewater is added to a reactor, it is treated with oxygen to reduce organic water. It is then discharged once solids are removed.

How SBRs Improve Wastewater Treatment

Combine Multiple Processes in One Tank where filling, reacting, settling, and decanting occure in a single basin, reducing infrastructure needs.

Flexible Operation with easily adjustable cycle times accommodate variable flows and loading conditions.

Compact Footprint, eliminating the need for separate clarifiers, saving space.

Improved Nutrient Removal supports simultaneous nitrification and denitrification.

Reduced Sludge Production optimizes aeration and settling phases minimize excess biomass.

Ideal for Decentralized or Growing Facilities with modular design scaling well for remote or expanding systems.

Applications of SBRs in Wastewater Treatment

Decentralized and Rural Communities

Compact and easy to operate, SBRs are well-suited for remote areas with fluctuating flows and limited infrastructure.

 

Industrial Manufacturing

Ideal for treating variable-strength wastewater from food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial operations.

 

Municipal Wastewater

SBRs are widely used in small to mid-sized municipal plants for efficient nutrient removal and space-saving treatment.

 

Resorts and Campgrounds

Provides reliable, automated treatment for facilities with intermittent or peak loading patterns.

 

Winery Wastewater Treatment

Effective for treating high-organic, seasonal watewater with minimal operational demands.
