MBBR Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
Advanced Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor Technology
Intellect Aqua Private Limited provides high-efficiency MBBR Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) designed for residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal wastewater treatment.
The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) is an advanced attached growth biological wastewater treatment process where microorganisms grow on specially designed plastic carrier media. These carriers move freely inside the reactor tank and provide a large surface area for microbial growth, resulting in highly efficient wastewater treatment.
MBBR technology combines the advantages of activated sludge systems and attached growth systems, providing superior treatment performance with lower maintenance.
What is MBBR Technology?
The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) is a biological wastewater treatment process in which microorganisms grow as a biofilm attached to plastic carrier media.
Unlike conventional activated sludge systems, where microorganisms remain suspended in the aeration tank, MBBR uses floating media carriers that move freely in the treatment tank.
These carriers provide a large surface area where beneficial microorganisms attach and grow. The biofilm formed on the media breaks down organic pollutants present in wastewater, resulting in effective treatment.
MBBR Treatment Process
The MBBR wastewater treatment process used by Intellect Aqua Private Limited includes several stages to ensure efficient pollutant removal.
- Primary Clarification: Wastewater passes through screening and clarification to remove large solids.
- MBBR Reactor Tank: Plastic carrier media provide surface area for microbial growth.
- Aeration and Mixing: Media are kept in motion using diffused aeration or mixers.
- Biofilm Treatment: Microorganisms break down organic pollutants reducing BOD and COD.
- Media Retention System: Screens prevent carrier media from leaving the tank.
- Secondary Clarification: Remaining suspended solids settle before final discharge or reuse.
Unlike activated sludge systems, no sludge recirculation is required because microorganisms remain attached to the carrier media.
MBBR Media Support Carrier System
The efficiency of an MBBR plant depends on the plastic carrier media used in the reactor tank. These carriers are specially designed to provide:
- High surface area for microbial growth
- Efficient wastewater contact with biofilm
- Long life and durability
Typical Carrier Properties
| Property | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Specific Surface Area | 350 – 1200 m²/m³ |
| Void Ratio | 60% – 90% |
