MBBR Effluent Filtration

The MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) treatment is a unique solution for effluent filtration and a co-creation between Hydrotech and MBBR.


It offers a compact, low CAPEX solution for wastewater treatment. Food and beverage, oil and gas customers use it to reduce COD in water before discharge. Mining customers see the possibilities of nitrifying explosive residues in water.
 

Key benefits

  • Low TSS in filtrate < 10 mg/l
  • Cutting edge technology
  • One package, two compact technologies that minimize total footprint
  • Optimal upgrade from activated sludge plant for higher capacities
