MBBR (Moving Bed Bio Reactor)
The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system is considered an Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT), which combines the best of Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) and bio-filter processes, making use of suspended biomass and attached biomass. This system requires less space than CAS to process the same amount of wastewater and can be adapted to the existing structures of CAS. This process uses suspended biomass, similar to Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS), and attached biomass, as a bio-filter. To promote the adherence of the biomass, small pieces of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), known as carriers, are added into the tank, where the biofilm will be formed and will further grow, allowing elimination of sludge recycling, typically required in conventional systems. This reactor can be used for aerobic, anoxic, or anaerobic processes.
