What is MBBR Bio Filter Media

MBBR bio filter media is a key component in the moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) and plays a vital role in sewage treatment.
MBBR biofiltration fillers are usually made of polymer materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. These materials have good chemical stability, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and can operate stably for a long time in the sewage treatment environment.
The shapes of the fillers are various, and the common ones are cylindrical and spherical. Its design features are aimed at providing the largest possible specific surface area to provide sufficient space for the growth and attachment of microorganisms. Generally speaking, the specific surface area of ​​MBBR biofiltration fillers can reach hundreds or even thousands of square meters per cubic meter. This enables a large number of microorganisms to form biofilms on the surface of the filler, thereby efficiently treating sewage.
The formation of biofilms is the core of the MBBR process. When sewage flows through the filler, microorganisms adsorb and grow on the surface of the filler, gradually forming a layer of biofilm. This layer of biofilm is composed of different types of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, etc. These microorganisms convert pollutants such as organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus in sewage into harmless substances through a series of biochemical reactions.
MBBR bio filter media have the following significant advantages:
First, good fluidization performance. In the MBBR reactor, the fillers are in a fluidized state through aeration or stirring, and are in full contact with the sewage. This fluidization state ensures that the microorganisms can be evenly distributed throughout the reactor, improving the sewage treatment efficiency. At the same time, good fluidization performance also helps to prevent the accumulation and clogging of the fillers.
Second, strong resistance to shock loads. Because the biofilm on the filler has a high biomass and rich microbial species, the MBBR system can quickly adapt to changes in sewage quality and water volume. Even under high load or shock load, it can maintain a relatively stable treatment effect.
Furthermore, the filler has a long service life. The filler made of polymer materials has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is not easy to damage and age. In general, the service life of MBBR biofiltration fillers can reach several years or even longer, reducing the frequency and cost of replacing fillers.
In addition, MBBR biofiltration fillers also have the advantages of easy installation and simple operation and maintenance. The filler can be directly added to the reactor without a complicated installation process. During operation, it is only necessary to regularly check and clean the filler to ensure its fluidization state and the activity of the biofilm.
As the core component of the MBBR sewage treatment process, MBBR biofiltration filler has the advantages of large specific surface area, good fluidization performance, strong impact load resistance, and long service life, which provides a strong guarantee for efficient and stable sewage treatment.
