INTRODUCING
THE PLANTED BIOLOGICAL REACTOR (PBR)®
A HYBRID MBBR & WETLAND
WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMSlide3
What is a Planted Bed Bioreactor?
A versatile, natural, economical and ecological “on-site” wastewater treatment and water re-use system Used for large and small flow “cluster”
and communal treatment systems (can be sized like lego
pieces to adapt to virtually any environment)A 2 component hybrid of MBBR and advanced wetland treatment technologiesAble to treat all kinds of wastewaters to well below most regulatory limits
Unlimited lifecycle with easy operation and low maintenance costsSlide4
Planted Biological Reactor
Can
be designed to any shape required and the surface planting material
Becomes an integral aesthetic
part
of the landscaping
The PBR system is a custom designed flexible insulated concrete form with 2 divisions creating 3 chambersSlide5
HOW PBR TREATMENT WORKSThe system consists of two parts, each with 3-chamber components.
The system is capable of treating to less than 10 for CBOD &
TSSAn additional treatment component is able to reduce nitrogen to less than 10 TN mg / litre
Moving Bed Bioreactors (MBBR) biologically treat wastewater by circulating moving media in aerobic and anaerobic microbial environments. Slide6
HOW IT WORKSSlide7
PBR TREATMENT DETAILS
An Anoxic tank is used for recycling the effluent for de-nitrificationAn Anaerobic bacterium consumes the nitrate producing N2 gas
BOD is knocked down in the first stage of the MBBR treatment Ammonia is converted to nitrate in the 2
nd state of the MBBR treatmentThe BAM (Botanical Aeration) is shallow (1 foot beneath water level) for full nitrification
Solids generated in the MBBR will attach to plant roots and be consumedAny additional sludge will settle out and be removed
annually
An upflow
wetland filter is used to “polish” effluent and remove any remaining solids and
consume the balance of oxygenTreated effluent is sent to
a De-Nitrification tank before disposalSlide8
De-Nitrification
ADDITIONAL DENITIRIFICATIONTo achieve greater de-nitrification to less than 1mg/litre
an additional component is requiredAn additional treatment tank is dosed with a carbon source to facilitate biological removal through the carbon.
PLANTS
Plants enhance biological remediation of organic contaminants found in wastewater by increasing the population density of microorganisms in the growing media. MBBR systems are an ideal treatment solution for high-strength wastewater or siting applications requiring a compact physical footprint
Upgrading existing treatment plants into MBBR systems can greatly enhance biological nitrogen removal (BNR) – expanding treatment capacity and improving effluent quality with minimal additional footprint expansion.Slide9
