Wastewater generated from chemical manufacturing processes is subject to stringent regulatory discharge requirements and is often difficult to treat using conventional processes. The solution for many facilities requiring advanced biological treatment, is Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor technology. Using Headworks International biofilm carrier technology, MBBR establishes a high-density population of bacteria within a compact biological wastewater treatment process, reliably biodegrading target organics in the wastewater stream for economical reduction prior to compliant discharge.

MBBR SYSTEMS OFFER SEVERAL UNIQUE ADVANTAGES TO FACILITIES IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY:

  • Compact design offering excellent land-use or facility-space efficiency
  • Resilient biofilm carrier process is highly resistant to influent fluctuations
  • Operator friendly
  • Process optimization prior to install via Headworks International testing and computer modeling services
  • Economically meets application-specific effluent discharge requirements
