MBBR Media

Unique Features and Advantages:-

1. Smaller footprint
2. Utilize whole tank volume for Biomass
3. Less sludge produced
4. Easy expansion (more media)
5. No media clogging
6. Reliability and ease of operation
7. Easy to retrofit existing basins

Working Principle: The MBBR system is based on the use of a biofilm that grows attached to the surface area of specifically designed BIOnest/carriers made of polyethylene or polypropylene with a density close to that of water. The carriers are designed to provide a large protected surface for bacterial growth. The reactor volume is filled with carriers. Due to their density being close to that of water and the fact that only part of the reactor volume is filled with carriers, the packed bed is allowed to move freely in the reactor. Hence the name moving bed biofilm reactor. Medium bubble aeration or mixing by slow-speed mixers is applied to keep the carriers in suspension. Thus microorganism present in biofilm break down complex organic substance into smaller ones and cleans water.
