Revolutionising wastewater treatment with MBBR Pack technology

 

In the Food & Beverage industry, effective wastewater treatment is crucial for maintaining environmental compliance, reducing operational costs and promoting sustainability. Traditional wastewater treatment methods often face challenges such as high energy consumption, large footprints and inefficient removal of organic matter and nutrients. However, a game-changing technology called MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) is revolutionising the way the industry approaches wastewater treatment.

What is MBBR Pack?

MBBR technology is an advanced biological wastewater treatment process that utilises specialised carriers known as biofilm carriers or, simply, MBBR media. These carriers provide a large surface area for the growth of beneficial microorganisms, which break down organic matter and remove nutrients from the wastewater. The carriers are designed to move freely within the reactor, ensuring optimal contact between the microorganisms and the wastewater. IMG-0420 (1)

MBBR Pack is a packaged solution that meets the market's evolving needs by leveraging AnoxKaldnes' recognised and proven expertise in MBBR technology. By integrating proprietary MBBR technology, which has been developed and perfected over 30 years and has more than 1,200 references worldwide, the MBBR Pack offers a comprehensive wastewater treatment solution tailored to the specific requirements of various industries.

 

Benefits of MBBR Pack for the Food & Beverage Industry:

  1. High treatment efficiency: MBBR Pack is highly effective in removing organic matter and nitrogen from wastewater. This ensures compliance with stringent environmental regulations and reduces the risk of fines or penalties.
  2. Plug & Play convenience: One of the key advantages of MBBR Pack is its standardised, prefabricated design with a Plug & Play function. This innovative approach ensures easy installation and rapid deployment, making it an ideal choice for customers seeking a swift and hassle-free implementation of their wastewater treatment system.
  3. Compact footprint: Compared to traditional treatment methods, MBBR Pack systems require a much smaller footprint, making them ideal for space-constrained facilities or retrofitting existing treatment plants.
  4. Lower operational costs: Thanks to its autonomous operation, MBBR Pack does not require a permanent operator on site (7/7d, 24/24h), which can significantly help to cut OPEX costs in comparison with a conventional activated sludge solution.
  5. Operational flexibility: MBBR Pack systems can handle fluctuations in wastewater flow and composition, making them suitable for various food and beverage processing operations.
  6. Modular design: MBBR Pack systems can be easily expanded or modified to accommodate changing production demands, providing scalability and flexibility.

Applications in the Food & Beverage Industry:

Spain - Cervezas Victoria

The MBBR Pack is treating the industrial effluents from the brewery's factory in Malaga. The treatment aims to remove the COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) from the cleaning waters before being discharged into the sewage system. One very important aspect for the client is the fact that this technology can be combined with other technical solutions from Veolia to address specific problems and meet more stringent quality objectives.
