MBBR MEDIA
The MBBR Media (Moving Bed Biological Media) system is an advanced high-rate wastewater treatment process utilizing free floating media which houses active biological cells. Essentially, MBBR system is a hybrid process where attached growth and suspended growth treatment processes functions simultaneously.
Arguably, the most important part of the MBBR process is the specially designed floating media, which provides large surface area for bacterial growth. Hence these carrier elements (media) are in continuous movement, available surface area is constantly exposed to the wastewater, and hence uniform biological growth takes place over entire area of the media.
'Continuous Movement' of this carrier element is driven by air bubbles supplied inside the reactor by means on air diffusers.
BF-22 Random Media for MBBR media, is a 'Non Clog' & 'self cleaning' type, designed in view of various factors which influences the plant performance. Our pilot plant trials helped us on concluding the design parameters required with FBBR. Importantly thrust was given to maintain the same active surface area even after plant stabilization period. Many moving bed reactor designers given little importance to 'specific area lost' over a period of time led to failures of similar installations. Either the system consume large amount of energy (as they eventually use coarse bubble aeration system to flush out the entrapped bio solids inside the media) or uses excess media in-order to overcome the 'lost area'.
BF-22 Random Media overcome the problems faced with conventional moving media available elsewhere.
