Hinkton - Model Flubio -Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR)
The Flubio MBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor) is a proven fixed-film or attached growth biological process for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The technology can be designed to address biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) removal, as well as nitrification and denitrification treatments. This MBBR biological system process provides the smallest footprint, which is tolerant of both load swings and temporary load deprivation.
Flubca MBBR Media
High Specific Surface Area for Superior Treatment Capacity
Specific Surface Area: 6,032 m²/m³ (vs.
The exceptionally large surface area maximizes biofilm attachment, enabling high pollutant removal efficiency. This reduces the total media volume required for equivalent treatment performance.
Enhanced Hydrophilicity for Rapid Biofilm Formation
Material: Modified polyurethane composition with superior hydrophilic properties.
Accelerates biofilm colonization, significantly shortening system commissioning.
Optimal Fluidization Performance with Low Operational Costs
- Density: Slightly higher than water (1.0045 kg/m³), combined with elastic material properties, prevents floating or surface accumulation.
- Fluidization: Achieves uniform fluidization without additional aeration pipes at retention screens, resolving traditional media accumulation issues (e.g., HDPE media at 0.95 kg/m³ floats easily and clogs screens).
- Operational Efficiency: Reduces energy consumption and maintenance needs while maintaining stable treatment performance.
- Low capital cost
- Stable under load variations
- Generates low solids and requires no sludge recycling. It reduced about 90% activated sludge compared with AAO process.
- Shaves off 60-80% influent BOD for easy industrial upgrades to existing systems
- Easy to retrofit existing systems
- Industry standard size and shape, interchangeable with other systems
- Reduces the load to downstream activated sludge process.
- Simple to operate
- Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) removal
- Nitrification treatment
- Denitrification treatment
- Upgrade conventional activated sludge systems by incorporating bio-media.
