What are the benefits and drawbacks of using MBBR technology on Sewage treatment plant?

Before discussing the benefits as well as drawbacks of any particular technology it is very much necessary to know all the basics of that particular technology. So here we will discuss everything about the MBBR (Mixed Bed Bio Reactor technology) and also we will see the good and bad impact that this technology puts forward when it is used on a sewage treatment plant.

How to define MBBR treatment?

This particular technology of wastewater treatment was developed back in the year 1980s and early 1990s; the technology was developed with the aim of fulfilling the problems that were coming up with the other wastewater treatment method. Then over the years, this technology became very popular among the people for all the multiple benefits that it offers.

But just like every coin has two sides, everything has its own advantages as well as some disadvantages similarly there are benefits as well as some of its  drawbacks that a person gets to deal with while using the MBBR technology for the wastewater treatment.

Though MBBR technology is used for the treatment of many types of wastewater but, here we will focus on all the benefits that it offers and all the drawbacks that one faces while using the technology on the sewage treatment plant.



The advantages of using the Mixed Bed Bio Reactor technology on a sewage treatment plant are as follows:

  • The sludge retention time improves it gets much higher and effective.
  • Fluctuating load doesn’t cause operational issues.
  • The production of sludge becomes lower.
  • Requires less space.
  • Toxic shock resistant.
  • The process doesn’t need a secondary filter.
Now that we have discussed all the advantages that are offered by the MBBR technology in case of a sewage treatment plant so we can now move to the discussion of the disadvantages of the same.
The disadvantages of the Mixed Bed Bio Reactor technology on a sewage treatment plant are as follows:

  • The major disadvantage is that to be done with MBBR technology the process of sewage treatment becomes a biological process, so for that, there would be a need for highly qualified staff.
  • Also, one would need to continuously monitor the activity of the bacteria.
  • For avoiding the loss of media MBBR technology needs good quality operators and also a high-level engineering firm.
  • The people are also often seen complaining about the washing out of fixed film media, even when there are many strainer systems installed.
  • Mechanical component failure would lead to a total shut down of the plant.
  • It doesn’t produce fully pure waster the water treated through MBR or FBMR is more pure.
Other than being used for the sewage treatment plant MBBR is also used for the treatment of wastewater of many other types, the other types of wastewater treatment providing plants include the effluent treatment plant, packaged type sewage treatment plant, underground sewage treatment plant and many more. If you need to know the way MBBR technology works with all of them or if you need to know the benefits that it offers and the disadvantages associated with this technology being used on them then for knowledge over that you should get in touch with the team of experts that are available at Clear Ion.

What are the features associated with a swimming pool filtration plant?

Image
Water treatment has become a very essential process nowadays as the pollution in the environment is increasing day by day so is the pollution in the water is increasing. In the current situation, pollution is not only limited to the drinking water it has also reached to the other water types such as the pool waters and the pollution of the pool waters is equally hazardous for the health of the people just as the polluted drinking water. How pool water is polluted? The public swimming pools get polluted as they extract pollutants from the skin of the people and also from their excretion, for example, a person who swims in a pool unknowingly leaves in it, saliva, sweat, skin tissues, bacteria hair sometimes even the swimming costumes bring pollutants along with the person and leaves them in the pool and all this can be very harmful to the health of the public. All these pollutants can lead to serious infections in the body of the people these infections can also be life-threatening.

Effluent Treatment Plant Working Process

Image
Effluent Treatment Plants are widely used by the leading companies in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry for purifying water to eliminate any toxic and non-toxic chemicals as well as materials from it. These plants are extensively used by all companies for environmental protection. The Effluent Treatment Plant is a plant where the industrial effluent treatment and wastewaters are done. The Effluent Treatment plants are extensively in the industrial sector, for instance, the pharmaceutical industry, to eliminate the effluents from the bulk drugs. While the manufacturing process of drugs, varied effluent, and contaminants are produced. The effluent treatment plants are extensively used in the elimination of a high amount of organics, dirt, grit, debris, toxic, non-toxic materials, pollution, and polymers along with drugs, and other medicated stuff. These plants use evaporation and drying methods, as well as other auxiliary techniques like filtration, centrifuging, and inciner

What types of filters are used to treat Swimming Pools?

Image
While you are planning for a swimming pool before the construction phase you have to decide the type of filter which you want to use. Every type has its benefits and drawbacks and each has a different rate point, useful filter life, and unique cleaning aspects. The pool filters are highly efficient and feature weather-resistant tanks for the years of dependable use. Using a swimming pool filter is very important as it keeps the water clean and sparkling. It is also effective in maintaining the hygiene level of the pool and makes it safe to swim in. without a pool filter, debris, and dirt will not only make its way into the pool but will also remain in it. And it can lead to health problems for those who use the pool and will also add to the possibility of algae growth in the water. There are many types of Swimming Pool Filter Systems available in the market and the main function of a pool water filter is to collect the contaminants and particulates in the water as well as h
