Modular Moving Bed
Advanced Treatment,
Without Added Infrastructure
Wastewater treatment systems are being pushed beyond their original design capacity, facing stricter discharge limits and growing demand—yet expanding infrastructure is costly, time-consuming, and often impractical.
MMB is a patented biological treatment system that increases capacity and improves performance within existing treatment systems, helping operators meet higher loads and tighter standards without expanding their footprint.
Why Choose MMB?
- No new tanks or infrastructure required
- 50% lower capital cost vs traditional plants
- Lower operational complexity
- Faster deployment timelines
- Improves treatment inside existing lagoons
What It Does
MMBs can modularly increase biological treatment performance using proven high -rate MBBR kinetic rates of removal in a wide range of biological treatment applications. By placing the supplemental systems within existing treatment infrastructure, the need for additional costly infrastructure is greatly reduced.
-
1
Lagoon Systems
MMBs can greatly enhance nitrification and overall lagoon performance potential.
-
2
Clarifier Capacity
In activated sludge systems challenged by undersized clarifiers or excessive I/I, the addition of MMBs directly reduces the clarifier solids loading rate and the required depth required for effective clarification.
-
3
Biological Treatment Overload
MMBs utilize the proven MBBR kinetic rates of removal to increase capacity of an existing biological treatment footprint by as much as 200-300%.
-
4
Conversion of Aerobic to Anoxic Volume
By greatly reducing the footprint required to accomplish aerobic treatment objectives, MMBs can be used to allow existing tankage to be converted for use in anoxic or anaerobic treatment to meet new nutrient reduction goals.
Who’s It For
Wastewater treatment plant owners that are facing the need for greater capacity or more stringent effluent objectives. MMBs can be used in industrial, commercial, and domestic wastewater plants ranging from activated sludge plants, lagoons, septic tanks / drain fields, fixed film.
-
Food processing
Pretreatment and NPDES plants for meat/poutry, dairy, fruit/vegetable, beverages, grains/oil seeds food processors.
-
Municipal Treatment Facilities
Can be applied to roughing treatment applications, supplement to secondary treatment systems, or polishing applications to eliminate need for new infrastrcture.
-
Irrigation and Water Reuse
Drip fields and surface irrigated effluent water quality applications can benefit from MMBs improved treatment kinetics in the secondary treatment systems that precede disposal.
