Sewage & Wastewater Treatment Plant
MBBR is commonly known as Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor, is a type of wastewater treatment process that was first invented by Prof. Hallvard Ødegaard at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the late 1980s.
Unlike most traditional water wastage treatment systems, MBBR is a highly effective biological water treatment process which is based on a combination of biofilm media and conventional activated sludge processes. This way, water can be treated in both anaerobic and aerobic environments.
Features
- Ability to sustain relatively higher biomass concentration (MLSS).
- Significantly lower hydraulic retention time (HRT).
- Enables high volumetric loading through enhanced solid-liquid contact area.
- Higher mass transfer resulting in better biodegradation.
- Availability of high specific area for microorganisms.
- Significantly better odour control.
- Smaller plant footprint / Lesser civil works.
- Stable process and better quality of treated water (lesser BOD levels).
- Very less sludge for disposal with minimal moisture.
- Ease of operation and optimized running cost.
