Separation of Biomass From Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBRs)The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR™) process was developed in Norway 20 years ago. It is used in a biofilm process where the biomass is attached to small plastic elements that move freely along with the water in the reactors. The movement is caused by aeration in aerobic reactors, and by mechanical mixers in anoxic reactors. The moving bed is used in pure biofilm systems (without sludge...Author(s)Hallvard ødegaardMichael CimbritzMagnus ChristenssonClaus Poulsen DahlSourceProceedings of the Water Environment FederationSubjectSession 3: MBBR IFASDocument typeConference PaperPublisherWater Environment FederationPrint publication date Jan, 2010ISSN1938-6478SICI1938-6478(20100101)2010:7L.212;1-DOI10.2175/193864710798208368Volume / Issue2010 / 7Content sourceResiduals and Biosolids ConferenceFirst / last page(s)212 - 233Copyright2010Word count195Subject keywordsWastewater treatmentmoving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)biomass separation
