How can we increase treatment capacity without building an entirely new facility?
One option worth considering is Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology.
By using specially designed plastic carriers to support biofilm growth, MBBR systems provide additional surface for microorganisms within the reactor.
Why consider MBBR for plant upgrades?
🔹 Make Better Use of Existing Space
MBBR media can increase the available surface for biological growth within an existing reactor, subject to process and hydraulic limitations.
🔹 Improve Biological Treatment Capacity
The attached biofilm supports microbial activity and can help improve organic matter removal and nitrification when properly designed and operated.
🔹 Flexible Applications
MBBR technology can be used in new wastewater treatment plants or considered for upgrading existing biological treatment systems.
🔹 Designed for Different Needs
Media type, filling ratio, aeration, mixing, and reactor configuration can be adjusted according to project requirements.
Of course, adding media alone does not guarantee better performance. Every upgrade should be evaluated based on wastewater characteristics, treatment targets, oxygen transfer, and hydraulic conditions.
A successful MBBR upgrade starts with understanding the existing system—not simply adding more carriers.
At Small Boss, we manufacture MBBR media for wastewater treatment applications worldwide and support customers in selecting suitable media for their projects.
