Enhancing treated wastewater effluent characteristics using hybrid biofilm/activated sludge process – a case study

Abstract: This paper documents the results of 12 months of monitoring of an upgraded hybrid moving bed biofilm reactor-conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (MBBR-CAS WWTP). It also targets the assessment of the increment of the hydraulic load on existing treatment units with a zero construction and land cost. The influent flow to the plant was increased from 21,000 m3 d−1 to 30,000 m3 d−1, 40% of the existing CAS reactor volume was used for the MBBR zone with a carrier fill fraction of 47.62% and wit… Show more

“…The anaerobic-oxic (A/O), anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A 2 O), and oxidation ditch processes are mature domestic sewage treatment processes that occupy mainstream positions in municipal wastewater treatment plants, of which A 2 O is the most commonly used synchronous nitrogen-and phosphorus-removal process [4]. Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) upgrading is a relatively inexpensive and efficient upgrade program for sustainably upgrading municipal sewage treatment plants, which saves land and construction costs and is suitable for upgrading small sewage treatment plants [5]. Embedding MBBR in the A 2 O process optimizes the distribution of carbon sources, increases the microbial structure's stability, improves the reactor's internal biomass, and effectively enhances the effectiveness of nitrogen removal and phosphorus removal [6].…”
