Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What is MBBR?
MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) is an advanced wastewater treatment technology that uses suspended plastic carriers (MBBR media) to provide growth surfaces for microorganisms. With 15 years of manufacturing experience, Juntai produces carriers boasting a specific surface area of 800-1,200㎡/m³, successfully implemented in 500+ municipal and industrial wastewater projects worldwide.
What are the advantages of MBBR?
Juntai MBBR solutions offer three core benefits:
Superior Treatment Efficiency - Patented vortex design achieves 95% COD removal rate
Zero-Clog Operation - Special surface texture prevents biofilm over-accumulation
Cost Efficiency - 40% lower energy consumption vs. traditional activated sludge systems

How MBBR Works:
Efficient Wastewater Purification Explained:
The MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) system uses thousands of small plastic biofilm carriers suspended in a treatment tank. These carriers provide a large surface area for beneficial microorganisms to attach and grow. As wastewater flows through the reactor, the microbes break down organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other pollutants, effectively cleaning the water.
Key Process Features:
● High-Efficiency Carriers: Durable polyethylene media maximize microbial growth.
● Continuous Treatment: Moving carriers ensure constant contact between microbes and wastewater.
● Low Maintenance: Self-regulating biofilm prevents clogging and system downtime.
● Ideal for industrial and municipal applications, MBBR delivers reliable contaminant removal in compact, energy-saving systems.
AAO Process & MBBR Integration: Optimized Nutrient Removal
The AAO (Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic) process is a proven method for simultaneous removal of organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Here’s how MBBR enhances its efficiency:
1. Anaerobic Stage
> Objective: Initial BOD reduction (40-60%)
> Process: Microbes degrade organics without oxygen, preparing wastewater for nutrient removal.
2. Anoxic Stage
> Key Action: Denitrification (70-90% nitrate removal)
> Mechanism: Bacteria convert nitrates to nitrogen gas using organic carbon as energy.
3. Oxic Stage with MBBR
> MBBR’s Role: Biofilm carriers boost nitrification capacity by 50% vs conventional systems.
> Nitrification: Ammonia → Nitrite → Nitrate (95% efficiency)
> HRT Reduction: Achieve treatment goals in 4-6 hours vs 8+ hours in ASP
Why Combine AAO + MBBR?
Space Savings
Compact MBBR units cut tank volume needs by 30%
Energy Efficiency
Targeted aeration reduces power use by 25%
Stability
Biofilm resists shock loads (up to 5kg COD/m³/day)
