SSI Aeration’s MBBR offers advantages only found in our MBBR process design services. MBBR engineers at SSI focus on minimizing the following:

• Energy and operating cost: An MBBR system consumes less energy than other wastewater systems, reducing overall operating costs.
• Reactor volume and HRT: MBBR systems also lower HRT. Thanks to these lower HRT rates, the MBBR can operate in a smaller reactor, saving space.
• Control complexity: Many of the processes involved in MBBR systems rely on microorganisms. As a result, the operator has fewer controls to manage, experiencing a simpler operation.
• Operator intervention: Since an MBBR system requires less complex controls, the operator does not need to intervene as much as they would with another system.

Additionally, SSI MBBRs increase factors such as:

• Treatment efficiency: An MBBR offers better treatment efficiency than other types of wastewater treatment systems at lower space and budget requirements.
• Hydraulic capacity: MBBR systems can handle more water at a given time than other systems, enhancing overall efficiency.
• Volumetric efficiency: With bacteria managing much of the treatment process, the parts in an MBBR system can stay in better condition. As a result, the system optimizes the amount of water flowing through the pumps.
• Process life span: The biofilm media carriers that hold an MBBR system’s bacteria have a long life expectancy. In turn, the system’s process lifespan also increases.

SSI’s MBBR systems increase performance and cost-effectiveness through smart design principles.
