Optimize Your Industrial Wastewater Treatment with a MBBR: Expertly Designed Solutions for COD and BOD Reduction, Ensuring Safe Water Reuse and Disposal.
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR): A Modern Wastewater Treatment Solution
MBBR technology is an advanced and efficient method for treating wastewater using microorganisms that grow on specially designed carriers. Here's a closer look at how it works:
Key Components
- Biofilm Carriers: Small plastic media that provide surface area for microbial growth.
- Aeration System: Supplies oxygen needed for breaking down pollutants.
- Mixing Mechanism: Keeps the carriers evenly distributed in the tank.
- Tank: Proper tank sizing is crucial to achieve desired treatment goals. It ensures sufficient hydraulic retention time (HRT), allowing microorganisms enough contact time with wastewater to effectively break down pollutants.
How MBBRs work
- Wastewater Entry: Incoming wastewater flows into the MBBR tank and contacts the biofilm-covered carriers.
- Biological Treatment: Microorganisms digest organic pollutants, reducing BOD, COD, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
- Aeration & Mixing: Oxygen is continuously supplied, and carriers are kept in motion to maximize efficiency.
- Separation & Discharge: Treated water is separated from the carriers and discharged.
Benefits of a MBBR
MBBR systems offer high efficiency in removing pollutants such as BOD, COD, nitrogen, and phosphorus, thanks to the continuous activity of biofilm-covered carriers. The self-regulating nature of the biofilm reduces the need for frequent maintenance, making the system reliable and easy to manage. Additionally, MBBRs are highly scalable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications—from small municipal systems to large, complex industrial facilities.
Real-World Applications
- Industrial: Suitable for complex wastewater from sectors like food and beverage, petrochemicals, mining, pulp and paper, and landfills.
- Municipal: Reliable for city and town wastewater systems.
bioprocessH2O's MBBR systems are a cost-effective and easy-to-operate solution for wastewater treatment.
bioprocessH2O's MBBR wastewater technology is ideal for the pretreatment of wastewater streams that contain different levels of organics. Our systems are also suitable for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications.

Why Choose bioprocessH2O for MBBRs?
Our systems are durable, compact, and require minimal maintenance. They are also custom-built to meet the specific needs of each client.
bioprocessH2O's MBBR systems use unique biofilm media carriers that provide a protected surface area for the acclimation of bacteria. The bacteria breaks down varying elements of the wastewater, leading to a more effective filtration process. If you are familiar with our MBR systems, the carriers are used instead of the activated sludge process. Due to this and the aeration process these systems use less energy than Membrane Bioreactors, as well. The microorganisms are then sloughed off of the media and are discharged with the treated water.
