Juntai MBBR Advantages

1. Superior Treatment Performance
Biofilm Carriers: Specially designed HDPE media (Ø10-25mm) with protected surface area (500-1700 m²/m³)
Process Configuration: Typically operates with 30-70% fill fraction in aerobic/anoxic zones
Loading Capacity: 5-15 kg COD/m³·day (depending on wastewater characteristics)

info-1211-778

2. Space-Saving & Cost-Effective

40-60% smaller footprint vs. activated sludge (no secondary clarifier required)

30% lower energy consumption with optimized aeration systems
