A MBBR is a specific implementation of an Aerobic digestion reactor.
It consists of plastic modules or carriers, typically made in PE, freely floating within the aerated reactor, providing a growing support for the bacterial colonization. Growing on support enables the bacteria to develop “shielding” strategies which render the entire reactor less susceptible to shock load or temporary contamination, the outer layers protecting the inner ones. Compared to traditional activated sludge technology, reactors can be smaller and consequently reduce plant footprint.
Additionally, a MBBR does not require the entire COD to be digested for efficient operations and produce good sludge quality which makes it particularly adapted as a pre-treatment prior to sewer discharge for the food and beverage industry. Traditional extensive secondary clarifier is replaced by a smaller DAF unit.
With decades of experience in industrial effluent treatment, Puretech Environmental delivers complete project management from initial feasibility through design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. We supply MBBR solutions for a wide variety of industrial sectors, including Manufacturing, Aerospace, Automotive, Food and beverage processing, Pharmaceutical production, Chemical manufacturing, Metal finishing, Surface treatment facilities, Waste recycling operations, General industrial effluent treatment.
