High Efficiency MBBR Biofilm Carrier with Specific Gravity >0.96g/cm³ and Efficient Surface >500㎡/m³ for Wastewater Treatment

Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR) requires less land and less daily operation attention than traditional systems. A smartly designed MBBR provides the lowest overall cost of ownership during the life of the plant. Why waste money when you are constructing the plant, and when you are operating and maintaining it? A smartly designed MBBR often provides the lowest overall cost of ownership and the easiest operations.

The principle of the MBBR process is based on the fundamental concepts of biofilm technology, where a certain quantity of suspended carriers is added to the reactor to increase both the biomass and microbial diversity within the system, thereby enhancing treatment efficiency. Since the density of the carriers is close to that of water, they mix completely with the water during aeration, creating a microbial growth environment encompassing gas, liquid, and solid phases.

The collision and shearing action of the carriers in the water break down bubbles into smaller sizes, improving oxygen utilization efficiency. Moreover, different types of microorganisms grow on the inner and outer surfaces of each carrier. Anaerobic or facultative bacteria thrive inside the carriers, while aerobic bacteria colonize the outer surfaces. This configuration turns each carrier into a micro-reactor, enabling simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, thus enhancing the overall treatment performance.

Advantages of the MBBR Process

MBBR which is commonly known as moving bed biofilm reactor is a modern water treatment technology and process. It was first invented in the late 1980s by Professor Hallvard of the Norwegian University of science and technology.

Unlike most traditional water wastage treatment systems, MBBR is a highly effective biological water treatment process that 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.

MBBR is currently the best water treatment solution for high-strength water systems. This is mainly because of the biological nitrogen removal (BNR), which uses MBBR systems thus improving waste matter quality and increasing treatment capacity with no extra footprint growth. And you can use K1 media and MBBR media to improve water quality in MBBR systems.
