The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR)
The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR), originally invented at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, incorporates the combined benefits of Activated Sludge and Attached Growth wastewater treatment processes. RH2O® North America adopted and professionally tailored MBBR technology to guarantee performance in the unique Canadian climate and meet specific regulatory and project requirements.
Self-cleaning media at the core of the process
The core of the process is the specially designed biofilm carrier media made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The media provides a high surface area for optimal biofilm growth to treat the wastewater. The aeration system completely mixes the media inside the biological reactor providing access to oxygen. The media design and mixing process ensure that the media is self-cleaning, will not clog, and does not require replacement.
Applications for RH2O®
Every RH2O® system is uniquely designed and tailored to the needs of each project. From new construction to retrofit or replacement of existing installations. Our systems are flexible and can be constructed from concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene reducing capital investment using locally manufactured tanks.
Campgrounds, RV and Mobile Home Communities
Commercial Plazas and Malls
Communal Subdivisions/Rural Communities
Restaurants, Rest Areas
and Truck Stops
Resorts and Marinas
Schools and Institutional Facilities
Wineries, Breweries
and Food Industry
Our systems are designed to meets the most stringent effluent requirements for:
Nitrification
DeNitrification
Phosphorus Removal
Disinfection / Wastewater Reuse
Retrofit / Upgrade Other
Treatment Systems
The benefits of our MBBR system can be used for upgrading or expanding existing wastewater treatment plants. From ammonia removal (nitrification) to assistance with high strength wastewater BOD removal, our system can be easily retrofitted in an economical package to help meet increasing regulatory standards.
RH2O® Advantages
RH2O® Design Software provides process simulation and proactive troubleshooting to ensure each project performs to the most stringent of effluent requirements.
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) optimized to efficiently remove carbon and ammonia in the smallest footprint even at low wastewater temperatures.
Self-cleaning media doesn’t clog or need replacement and is resilient against hydraulic and organic shock loads.
Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Sensor simplifies aeration control to maintain consistent and optimal performance and reduce energy costs.
Automated Aeration Control eliminates complexity of operation and reduces maintenance inspections.
PLC Control System with remote monitoring provides industrial-grade automation with full monitoring and management of control equipment.
Our systems can be designed as a complete stand-alone process or may be retrofitted/upgraded to assist other technologies meet performance requirements.
The cloud server acts as a real-time, 24-7 virtual operator, proactively monitoring vital data collected from the control panel.
