Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR)
Flexible, Resilient Biological Treatment for Variable Loads
Over 500 projects complete
Introduction
Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR) technology uses free-floating media to support high-density biological growth, delivering robust treatment of dissolved organics and ammonia. It is ideal for industrial sites with variable loads, limited space or the need for stable biological performance.
Efficient, Flexible Biological Treatment
FLI CAP Technology designs MBBR systems using high–surface area media to maximise biomass activity and improve treatment capacity. This provides strong COD/BOD removal in compact reactor volumes.
Proven at Large Industrial Facilities
We have implemented MBBR upgrades at major manufacturing sites, including paper mills, where it replaced ageing biological systems and handled large daily loads with consistent performance.
Low Maintenance & Stable Operation
MBBR systems require no sludge recycling and offer excellent resilience to shock loads. Our installations integrate aeration, media retention, instrumentation and downstream clarification such as DAF.
