SEMBBA - MBSBR IFAS

An optimised SBR with MOBED® moving bed, providing increased nitrogen treatment capacity, biological phosphorus removal and minimal IVF. A new technology that, through the incorporation of MOBED® moving bed to an SBR process, adds to the advantage of the already known compactness of an SBR, the high treatment capacity by high rate of nitrification in biofilm, maintaining high rates of denitrification and removal of phosphorus in suspension, achieving a high degree of IFAS effect and great removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. At the same time, filamentous bulking is minimised for better sludge sedimentation (IVF). This ultimately results in a smaller reactor volume. Ensuring this operation is possible thanks to an automatic control designed by Cimico, which in turn provides robustness of treatment and minimisation of energy consumption. In the case of SEMBBA®, but also the other Cimico moving bed technologies, the Cimico team will analyse the application of PURE or IFAS moving bed on a case by case basis.
