10.2. Sequenching Batch Reactor Systems - SBR


Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) type systems are used for biological wastewater treatment for the treatment of domestic wastewater. The most important criterion in the project design of the facility is to meet the effluent discharge standards. It is known that domestic wastewater can be treated in accordance with the limits of the SKKY (Water Pollution Control Regulation), only with the biological treatment process (classical activated sludge).

 

Sequencing Batch Reactor SBR (Sequenching Batch Reactor) is an aerobic biological treatment process. It converts the pollution to carbon dioxide (CO2) and new biomass by enabling the wastewater to come into contact with microorganisms.

 

Process control and ease of maintenance,

Large buffer capacity and consequently protection against peak loads and low demands,

• Being able to make simple adjustments in nitrification and denitrification processes regarding the nitrogen load, and also no need for a sludge precipitator,

• Fully controlling the wastewater feeding to the aeration tank, reducing floating sludge production,

• There is no final sedimentation tank,

• There is no return pump,

• No filamentous bacteria occurs (threadlike bacteria creates a problem since they do not settle),

• Compared to a high loaded system, it will produce less sludge than a low loaded system. By keeping the sludge to a minimum, the odour will also be reduced.
