The Principle of MBBR Technology
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology relies on specially designed plastic carriers suspended and in continuous movement within an aeration tank. These carriers provide a large, protected active surface area for the optimal growth of autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria.
Continuous Fluidization: In aerobic zones, the media is kept in suspension by the agitation of air bubbles from the Fine Bubble Aeration System. In anoxic or anaerobic zones, submersible mixers ensure uniform distribution.
Self-Regulating Biofilm: The continuous collision and friction among carriers shear off dead biomass (sloughing), maintaining a thin, highly active biofilm layer. This eliminates the need for sludge return systems or backwashing.
High Load Capacity: By uncoupling the Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) from the Sludge Retention Time (SRT), MBBR systems can handle extreme load fluctuations and toxic shocks with a significantly smaller footprint than Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) systems.
Material & Engineering Specifications
The efficiency of an MBBR or IFAS system heavily relies on the physical and chemical properties of the biocarriers. Our manufacturing process strictly adheres to international water treatment standards, ensuring consistent performance over decades.
- Specific Gravity: Precisely controlled at 0.94 – 0.96 g/cm³ to ensure optimal buoyancy and minimize energy required for mixing.
- High Impact Resistance: Resists brittleness, mechanical wear, and mixer impact. Designed for a service life exceeding 15 to 20 years.
- FDA Compliant Material: Safe for use in sensitive water treatment processes, ensuring no toxic leaching into the water column.
- Optimal Voidage Ratio: Engineered with an 85% voidage ratio to prevent clogging and ensure maximum mass transfer of oxygen and nutrients.
