Applicaion of Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) for Treatment of Industrial Wastewater: A mini Review

Abstract

Abstract This research aims at presenting Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology as one of the alternatives and efficient methods for treating industrial wastewaters at a variety of conditions. In the last decade, this technology became more popular and widely utilized worldwide, due to the fact that the need for clean water keeps to rapidly increase with the increase in the population of the world grows year by year, which is why a high number of the waste-water treatment facilities are necessary expand, for the purpose of providing additional capacity with the minimal costs. The present study aimed at covering the most significant MBBR processes, like the fundamental process of the treatment, biofilm kinetics, and MBBR operation principles. This review includes as well a large number of the relevant researches that have been performed at the lab and pilot scales, in addition to cover the important procedures on the basic process of the treatment, which affects the influent types as well as the carrier type. None-the-less, this review concluded yet has been compiled herein and reported to be acquiring more sufficient insights and outlook upon the theme with a view to meet the new method. For that purpose, the most feasible technology may be the advanced biological process (i.e., the bio-reactor systems), which include the MBBR system
