Smarter Bio-Treatment. Smaller Footprint.

MBBR Systems Designed for Performance, Efficiency, and Scalability

MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) is a cutting-edge biological treatment technology that uses specially designed plastic media suspended in aeration tanks to grow active biofilm. The result is a high-efficiency system that can handle fluctuating loads, requires less space, and minimizes sludge production.

High Treatment Efficiency

Biofilm carriers maximize surface area for biomass growth, ensuring high BOD/COD removal in a smaller tank size.

Compact & Space-Saving

Ideal for urban, retrofit, or underground installations where conventional systems are too large or impractical.

Resistant to Load Variations

Handles fluctuations in flow and organic load without affecting overall process stability or output quality.

Low Sludge Generation

Reduces the quantity and frequency of sludge handling, minimizing disposal and maintenance efforts.

Low Maintenance & Automation 

Minimal operator intervention with optional automation for DO control, blowers, and feed systems.

Flexible Integration

Can be used as a standalone biological stage or integrated into ETP, STP, or ZLD systems for enhanced performance.

Built for Industries That Demand Smarter, Space-Saving Treatment

MBBR systems are ideal for industries that require stable biological treatment with minimal space and low energy use.

Residential & Commercial STPs

Space-efficient MBBR units ideal for housing, offices, malls, and hotels where footprint and odor control are key.

Textile & Dyeing Wastewater

Effectively reduces high organic loads in wastewater with minimal maintenance and high operational uptime.

Food & Beverage Processing

Tackles high-COD biodegradable loads with fast biomass response and robust process control.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Supports high-strength effluent treatment with stable, biofilm-based removal of complex organic compounds.

Industrial Retrofitting

A practical upgrade solution for underperforming ASP systems, enabling enhanced capacity without large civil changes.

Residential & Commercial STPs

Compact MBBR units are ideal for apartments, malls, and offices, offering reliable treatment with minimal space and odor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is MBBR different from conventional activated sludge process (ASP)?

How is MBBR different from conventional activated sludge process (ASP)?

MBBR uses biofilm carriers instead of free-floating bacteria, allowing higher biomass concentration, better load handling, and lower sludge generation.

Can MBBR be retrofitted into an existing plant?

What happens to the solid waste?

Yes. It’s commonly used to upgrade STPs or ETPs by replacing or supplementing existing aeration systems with minimal civil modifications.

Is the media reusable or does it require replacement?

Is the media reusable or does it require replacement?

The media is highly durable and typically lasts over 10 years, with no need for regular replacement under normal operating conditions.
