Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR)

Sequencing batch reactors treat wastewater such as sewage or the output from anaerobic digesters or mechanical biological treatment facilities in a batch treatment process. Oxygen is bubbled through the wastewater to reduce biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) producing a high quality effluent with a low turbidity and nitrogen levels capable of meeting Title 22 effluent quality standards.

The SBR accomplishes equalization, aeration, and clarification in a timed sequence in a single reactor basin. By varying the operating strategy aerobic, anaerobic, or anoxic conditions can be achieved to encourage the growth of desirable micro-organisms.

OMNIFLO® Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) - a fill-and-draw, non-steady state activated sludge process in which one or more reactor basins are filled with wastewater during a discrete time period, and then operated in a batch mode.

Sequencing Batch Reactor Case Study

Enhanced Nutrient Removal Achieved With OMNIFLO® SBR

The City of Fruitland, Maryland needed to expand the capacity of their wastewater treatment plant from 0.5 to 1.0 million gallons per day (MGD) while upgrading its level of treatment to include enhanced nutrient removal (ENR). The city also needed to upgrade their facility to meet the requirements of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed project.
