AnoxKaldnes® MBBR™ Biofilm Technology

 An advanced biological treatment process for municipal and

industrial wastewaters: 1% plastic, 99% know how.

The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR™) technology is a leading-edge biological

solution for wastewater treatment, based on a core understanding of microbiologyand treatment processes and intensive Research & Development by AnoxKaldnes®,

a Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies company, with over 20 years of experience.

This simple and robust biological treatment process is suitable for specific wastewater

treatment processes – nitrogen reduction, high BOD/COD removal, including difficult

industrial wastewater requirements.

At the core of the technology, specially designed polyethylene biofilm carriers provide

a large surface area for micro-organisms to grow on and perform specific biological

treatment functions. Carriers are kept in suspension in the reactor either by the aeration

system (aerobic zone) or mixers (anoxic zone). Bacteria from the wastewater attach

themselves to the floating carriers.

The very compact configuration helps to achieve a highly active biomass concentration

in the reactor and a low settling load in the downstream solids separation process.

Biofilm wastewater treatment technologies are very robust, especially when compared

to conventional technologies like activated sludge.

 A biofilm consists of 

micro-organisms and 

their extra-cellular 

 products, attached to

a solid surface.

> High tolerance to load variations (including

suspended solids) and toxic shocks

> Low solids load on clarifier

> Very compact configuration, able to fit

in very small spaces

> High removal efficiencies for nitrogen,BOD and COD

> Stable process and easy to operate

Key Characteristics

> Easy reuse of existing structures

> Ideal for upgrades

> Fast start-up and fast recovery aftershut-down

> No sludge bulking problems

> Low maintenance> More than 500 installations in 50 countries

> 20 years of experience

> Municipal customers and water authorities

- Sewerage treatment plants with footprint restrictions

(sewer mining), requirements for low dischargenitrogen, sludge settlablity or bulking problems

- Recycled water schemes - nitrate reduction andtreatment of brine concentrates

> Industrial customers:

- Food & Beverage, including Dairy and Wineries

- Mining and minerals, Pulp & Paper processing andindustrial processes with difficult wastewaters

- Oil & Gas for wastewater with organics and nitrogen

Customers

- AnoxKaldnes® MBBR™ standalone process, or, as a complete integrated process, can be designed to suit

specific customer’s requirements – engineered to suit specific needs, including footprint restriction, use of

existing infrastructure, feed fluctuations.

MBBR™ Bench Scale Tests & Pilot Tests

- In order to design the most suitable process for your plant, we can organise bench scale tests – batch or

continuous bioreactor operation, under controlled conditions to simulate the full scale process. This will allow

us to develop the optimum design, establish the key process parameters and prove the process performance.

- We can also test your wastewater for specific treatment results.

MBBR™ Process Combinations

AnoxKaldnes™ MBBR™ technologies can be used in combination with several sludge separation technologies,e.g. Neosep®

Membrane Bioreactor, Actiflo® clarification, Hydrotech® Discfilters, DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) or conventional clarifier.

MBBR™ & Neosep® MBR Packaged Plant: a unique packaged plant combining leading edge biological and membrane processes

for small scale municipal & reuse applications.

> A combination of the biological process of MBBR™ and Neosep® Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) - an immersed

membrane filtration for very high removal efficiency of bacteria, suspended solids and high BOD/COD removal

> Available in flow rates from 100 kL/day, this high efficiency compact and robust design can tolerate variations

and disturbances

High quality water for reuse (sewer mining)

> This process produces high quality reuse water

(class A+), suitable for irrigation, non potable

re-use projects and discharge into sensitive

  environments

> Ideal when combined with Reverse Osmosis to

remove TDS for cooling tower make-up water

 for increased efficiency and reduced chemical

and potable water consumption

> Design & Supply contract for treating Reverse Osmosis Concentrate (ROC) at the

Bundamba AWTP (part of the South East Queensland 232 ML/day Western Corridor

  Recycled Water Scheme)

> Removal of ammonia in ROC by biological nitrification using MBBR™ as post treatment

  for effluent polishing, to reduce ammonium to 0.9 mg/L

> Capacity: 15.5 ML/day

> Application: environmental discharge to meet stringent EPA environmental requirements

Bundamba Advanced Water Treatment Plant, Municipal, Bundamba - QLD

> Design, Build & Support for a Recycled Water Plant, to treat 245 kL/day of sewage (sewermining project) for a low rise sustainable development in Darling Harbour in Sydney

> Process: MBBR™, Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), Reverse Osmosis

> Capacity: the RWP will produce 166 kL/day (60 ML/year) of high quality treated recycledwater for reuse on site for toilet flushing, irrigation and cooling tower make up water

> The project is registered for a Green Star Office Design rating and targeting a 6-star rating

> Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies was awarded a WICA (Water Industry Competition Act)

License for this project

> Australian beer and spirits division of Foster’s Group, decided to expand their plant with

  additional water requirements attracting significant overhead charges, which encouraged

CUB to recycle their wastewater

> Process: two-stage MBBR™ used for polishing BOD after anaerobic treatment, prior to DAFand Microfiltration/Reverse Osmosis

> Capacity: 140 m3/hour

> Application: the reuse water is used for Clean In Place, boilers and general washing

Carlton and United Breweries, Food & Beverage, Yatala - QLD

The MBBR™ can be used in combination with other processes to achieve the appropriate treatment objectives: after

anaerobic treatment for polishing BOD load; before activated sludge for high BOD/COD treatment, or multiple stages

of MBBR™. MBBR™ is also ideal for upgrades or as post treatment to existing activated sludge for nitrogen removal.

> The MBBR™ process is suitable for: organic removal, nitrification, denitrification or detoxification.

MBBR™ processes are suitable either for new plants, upgrade or expansion of existing plants.

> Specially designed carriers (K1, K3, BiofilmChip™ M, BiofilmChip™ P, F3, Matrix™ Sol) will meet different

applications. The carriers are designed to give a large surface area for micro-organisms to grow on.

> The reactor can be filled with up to 70% volume of carriers, which are kept in the tank by sieves

at the reactor outlet.

> Several reactors in series may be used to develop specialised bacteria in each stage.
