What is MBBR?
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) is a highly efficient wastewater treatment process that uses biofilm carriers suspended in water to degrade organic material. It's ideal for municipal and industrial applications where space, efficiency, and performance matter.

How it Works

How MBBR works?
- Wastewater Introduction: Untreated wastewater flows into the MBBR tank.
- Carrier Movement: Small plastic carriers with a large surface area are continuously mixed within the tank. This mixing is typically achieved through aeration or mechanical agitation.
- Biofilm Growth: Microorganisms naturally present in the wastewater attach to the surface of these carriers and form a biofilm.
- Pollutant Degradation: As the carriers move throughout the wastewater, the biofilm comes into contact with the organic pollutants and nutrients. The microorganisms in the biofilm then consume and break down these pollutants.
- Carrier Retention: Screens at the outlet of the reactor prevent the plastic carriers from escaping with the treated effluent. Effluent Discharge: The treated wastewater, now with significantly reduced pollutant levels, flows out of the reactor for further treatment or discharge.
