MBBR Water Treatment Technology

The MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) technology is widely used for treating wastewater from schools, colleges, hospitals, apartments, hotels, resorts, industries, and corporate offices. This system efficiently reduces organic pollutants, nitrogen, and other contaminants in grey water. Grey water is the relatively clean wastewater generated from activities such as handwashing, bathing, laundry, and dishwashing. Common sources include sinks, showers, and laundry facilities in these institutions. Its versatility makes it suitable for both new installations and upgrading existing treatment facilities.

MBBR operates by using specially designed plastic carriers that provide a large surface area for microorganisms to form biofilms. These carriers are suspended in the aeration tank and kept in constant motion to promote effective contact between the biomass and the wastewater. The biofilm on the carriers breaks down organic matter in the water, enhancing treatment efficiency compared to conventional activated sludge systems.

MBBR technology requires minimal maintenance and is resistant to variations in organic loading, making it a stable and reliable treatment solution. It also has a compact footprint, which is ideal for facilities with limited space. The system’s flexibility allows for easy scaling and adaptation, making it an attractive choice for diverse wastewater treatment applications.
