METEOR IFAS_MBBR Process

METEOR IFAS/MBBR Process

Designed to optimize mass transfer, biomass density and contaminant removal

METEOR IFAS/MBBR technology is based on proprietary polyethylene biofilm carriers, which, when added to a treatment basin, provide a large internal surface area for the growth of microorganisms.

METEOR IFAS & MBBR Technologies

The METEOR IFAS/MBBR technology offers flexible solutions to a multitude of biological process upgrade applications such as nitrogen removal, treatment capacity increase and wastewater reuse.

Carrier size, geometry and specific internal surface area are critical features. Our unique carriers have been designed with optimal performance in mind.

The upgrade to IFAS or MBBR often consists of simply adding carriers and screens to existing basins and can therefore be completed in a cost-effective and timely manner without major civil engineering requirements and no requirement for additional land. PLC based control system optimize IFAS/MBBR process performance by minimizing energy and chemical costs.

HYBACS features

Main Features

• IFAS/MBBR systems were designed to optimize mass transfer, biomass density and contaminant removal rates through intensive research.
• The combination of large aperture area, high specific biomass and UV resistance makes Meteor® well suited for IFAS/MBBR applications.
• A 22 mm diameter carrier offers the ability to utilize a larger screen mesh size, thereby minimizing headloss across the screen and the tendency to foul.
• Highly resilient process for flow and contaminant loading variations.

Applications

The METEOR process can be used for a wide range of biological treatment applications:

• Increased flow capacity
• BOD Removal Enhancement
• Nitrification for Ammonia Removal
• Total Nitrogen Removal
• Total Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal
