The design and operational suitability of the moving bed process for small-scale sewage treatment systems were evaluated. A prototype plant was installed at a new housing development near Winchester, UK, and operated under different conditions over an eight-month period. During normal operation, the MBBR plant produced a good quality effluent with average values for BOD5, COD, SS and NH4-N of 15.6 mg l-1, 65.9 mg l-1, 21 mg l-1 and 4.7 mg l-1, respectively. The plant was further subjected to organic and hydraulic shock loads. The treatment performance remained high over the organic shock period, however, hydraulic surges of up to 10 times the design flow caused a loss of solids from the final settlement stage. While organic carbon removal resumed to over 80% within a single week after a prolonged power failure, effluent NH4-N values remained high for a period of three weeks. Besides producing a good quality effluent, the MBBR plant proved to be simple and reliable to operate, thus providing a viable treatment solution for small-scale applications.

A novel moving bed biofilm reactor has been developed, where the biofilm grows on small, free floating plastic elements with a large surface area and a density slightly less than 1.0 g/cm3. The specific biofilm surface area can be regulated as required, up to a maximum of approximately 400 m2/m3. The ability to remove organic matter from concentrated industrial effluents was tested in an aerobic pilot-plant with two moving bed biofilm reactors in series and a specific biofilm surface area of 276 m2/m3. Treating dairy wastewater, the pilot-plant showed 85% and 60% COD removal at volumetric organic loading rates of 500 g COD/m3h and 900 g COD/m3h respectively. Based on the test results, the moving bed biofilm reactors should be very suitable for treatment of food industry effluents.
