MBBR processes in Wastewater Treatment Spreadsheet Bundles

MBBR wastewater treatment process design spreadsheets are included in all of the MBBR-MBR-SBR spreadsheet bundle mentioned above.  The MBBR wastewater treatment process is quite flexible.  It is used for domestic and industrial wastewater treatment and can be designed for BOD removal alone or in combination with nitrification or with nitrification and denitrification.  It is used as a single stage process or as a two-stage or three-stage process.

The diagram below shows the general configuration of a Pre-anoxic nitrification denitrification MBBR wastewater treatment process.  Denitrification can also be carried out in a Post-Anoxic nitrification denitrification process.

MBR Processes in Wastewater Treatment Spreadsheet Bundles

A membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment system (MBR) can provide a compact alternative to the conventional activated sludge process. The MBR process uses filtration through a membrane instead of secondary clarification, so it produces a very high quality effluent.  Primary clarification is not typically used in a membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment system.  Fine screening is needed as a minimum pretreatment, and depending upon wastewater characteristics, coarse screening and grit removal may be needed also. The diagram below shows a general flow diagram for a MBR wastewater treatment system for BOD removal and nitrification.

Currently the membrane module is typically immersed in the aeration tank as shown in the flow diagram.  Denitrification can also be carried out by adding a preanoxic tank before the aeration tank.

Where to Find an MBBR Wastewater Treatment Design Spreadsheet

To obtain an MBBR wastewater treatment design spreadsheet, click here to visit our spreadsheet store.  This Excel spreadsheet can be used for MBBR process design calculations. You can buy a convenient MBBR wastewater treatment design spreadsheet  for a very reasonable price.  This spreadsheet makes MBBR process design calculations for several configurations for BOD removal and for nitrification.  It is available in either U.S. or S.I. units.  Read on for information about using an MBBR Wastewater Treatment Design spreadsheet.

Background for MBBR Wastewater Treatment Design Spreadsheet

The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a relatively recently developed wastewater treatment process.  It was developed in the 1990’s, but is now in use in many countries around the world.

The MBBR wastewater treatment process is quite flexible.  It is used for domestic and industrial wastewater treatment and can be designed for BOD removal alone or in combination with nitrification.  It is used as a single stage process or as a two-stage or three-stage process.

 Example MBBR Wastewater Treatment Design Spreadsheet

An example MBBR wastewater treatment design spreadsheet is partially shown in the image below.  This Excel spreadsheet can be used to calculate the required MBBR tank volume and dimensions, based on user input media information and wastewater design flow and characteristics.  This Excel spreadsheet, as well as others for wastewater treatment process design calculations, is available in either U.S. or S.I. units for a very reasonable price in our spreadsheet store.
