A Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) using Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) or Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) is a compact, factory-built system designed to treat sewage efficiently in limited space—ideal for apartments, hotels, hospitals, and industries.
Let’s break it down clearly 👇
🔷 1. Packaged MBBR STP – How It Works
💡 Concept: MBBR uses biofilm carriers (small plastic media) where bacteria grow and degrade organic waste.
⚙️ Process Flow: Screening Chamber: Removes large solids (plastics, cloth, debris)
Equalization Tank: Balances flow and load. Air mixing prevents settling
MBBR Aeration Tank. Floating bio-media provides a surface for bacteria
Air is supplied through diffusers. Bacteria break down BOD & COD
Secondary ClarifierSettles suspended sludge. Clear water moves forward
Filter (PSF + ACF)Pressure Sand Filter removes turbidity
Activated Carbon Filter removes odor & color
Disinfection: Chlorine/UV kills pathogens
✅ Output: Treated water is suitable for gardening, flushing, and cooling
🔷 2. Packaged MBR STP – How It Works
💡 Concept: MBR combines biological treatment + membrane filtration, eliminating the need for a clarifier.
⚙️ Process Flow: Screening + Equalization, Same as MBBR
Biological Tank: Microorganisms degrade organic matter
Membrane Tank (UF membranes)Hollow fiber membranes filter water
Removes: Suspended solids (TSS), bacteria & viruses, Turbidity
Disinfection (optional)UV or chlorine for extra safety
✅ Output: Ultra-clear water
Can be reused for: Flushing Cooling towers, even further polishing → RO feed
