MBBR media is a highly effectual biological treatment procedure based on a combination of conventional activated sludge procedure as well as biofilm media. The MBBR procedure utilizes floating High Capacity Micro Organism Bio Chips media within the aeration as well as anoxic tanks. The microorganisms devour organic material. The media offers an increased surface area for the biological microorganisms to attach plus grow. The increased surface area diminishes the footprint of the tanks needed to treat the wastewater. The treatment procedure can be aerobic or else anaerobic as well as operates at high volume loads.
MBBR Advantages
- Compact units with small size
- Increased treatment capacity
- Complete solids removal
- Improved settling characteristics
- Operation at higher suspended biomass
- Concentrations resulting in long sludge retention times
- Enhanced process stability
- Low head loss
- No filter channeling
- No need of periodic backwashing
- Reduced sludge production and no problems with sludge bulking
How MBBR Works
The MBBR filter media process uses floating plastic carriers (media) within the aeration tank to augment the number of microorganisms accessible to treat the wastewater. The microorganisms devour organic material. The media offers increased surface area for the biological microorganisms to fasten to and grow in the aeration tanks. The augmented surface area diminishes the footprint of the tanks needed to treat the wastewater. The media is incessantly agitated by bubbles from the aeration system that adds oxygen at the base of the first compartment of the aeration tank. The microorganisms consume organic material. When paralleled to conventional secondary treatment it offers superior effectiveness as well as value.
In fact the MBBR media or else biochips used utterly by Ecologix have an active surface area > 4000 m2/m3 which is up to six times greater than any competing media accessible on the market today.
The MBBR is an absolute mix, continuous flow-through the procedure which is based on the biofilms principle that combines the advantages of both the activated sludge procedure as well as conventional fixed-film systems without their disadvantages.
Performance
The MBBR BioChip is a high presentation MBBR carrier that offers a protected active surface area of > 5,500 m2/m3 for the immobilization of microorganisms that are in charge of the dissimilar biological water treatment procedures. This active surface area has been methodically certified as well as compares to a range of 350 m2/m3 – 800 m2/m3 offered by competitive solutions. Its application is characterized by tremendously high removal rates as well as dependable procedure stability. It provides elimination rates up to ten times higher than conventional media carriers (in all their various forms). This is achieved through a high-quality pore system as shown beneath magnification to the right.
Features
- Diameter up to 30 mm with large pores
- Protected active surface > 5,500 m2/m3
- Highest removal rates in the industry
- Extremely stable processes (even with fluctuation in process conditions)
- Manufactured from high quality PE material (virgin) free form carcinogenic plasticizers
- Optimal pore system and structure
- Allows for smaller MBBR system volume
Based on the expansion of microorganisms, the wastewater biological treatment systems can be alienated into two types: suspended growth (e.g. activated sludge procedure and MBR) and biofilm growth (e.g. trickling filter, fixed bio-filter and MBBR). Biofilm has benefits as high organic loading as well as high resistance to ecological changes in addition to toxic chemicals. The MBBR practice is to put carriers with precise geometric shapes in the aeration tank of the wastewater or else sewage biological treatment system. The carriers have a high explicit surface area that allows microorganisms to attach, grow as well as form a biofilm.
