Efficient Biological Treatment for Wastewater Applications

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) is a biological wastewater treatment process that uses specially designed carrier media inside a reactor to provide surface area for microbial growth.

The carrier media remains in motion within the treatment tank, allowing microorganisms to develop biofilm and support biological treatment of wastewater. The process can be incorporated into different wastewater treatment configurations depending on the treatment objective and site requirements.

Treatment Efficiency

Properly designed MBBR systems can support effective biological treatment performance.

How Does an MBBR System Work?

The MBBR process uses moving carrier media and microorganisms to biologically treat wastewater inside the reactor.

01
STEP 01

Wastewater Entry

Wastewater enters the biological reactor after suitable preliminary or pre-treatment stages.

02
STEP 02

Carrier Media

Special carrier elements provide protected surface area for microorganisms and biofilm development.

03
STEP 03

Biological Treatment

Microorganisms attached to the carrier media contribute to biological degradation of biodegradable pollutants.

04
STEP 04

Treated Effluent

Treated wastewater moves to the subsequent treatment or clarification stage according to the overall plant configuration.

Designed for Reliable Performance

MBBR technology can offer a practical approach for biological wastewater treatment where compactness, process flexibility and dependable operation are important considerations.
