A new moving bed biofilm reactor has been developed in Norway. The biomass is attached to carrier elements that move freely along with the water in the reactor. It is demonstrated in the paper that this results in a very compact reactor and a very efficient biomass. Experiences from pilot and full-scale testing of the reactor in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications are presented and discussed.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a full-scale upgrading of an existing RBC wastewater treatment plant with a MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) system, installed in a tank previously used for sludge aerobic digestion. The full-scale plant is located in a mountain resort in the North-East of Italy. Due to the fact that the people varied during the year's seasons (2000 resident people and 2000 tourists) the RBC system was insufficient to meet the effluent standards. The MBBR applied system consists of the FLOCOR-RMP®plastic media with a specific surface area of about 160 m2/m3 (internal surface only). Nitrogen and carbon removal from wastewater was investigated over a 1-year period, with two different plant lay-outs: one-stage (only MBBR) and two stage system (MBBR and rotating biological contactors in series). The systems have been operated at low temperature (5–15°C). 50% of the MBBR volume (V=79 m3) was filled. The organic and ammonium loads were in the average 7.9 gCOD m−2 d−1 and 0.9 g NH4−N m−2 d−1. Typical carbon and nitrogen removals in MBBR at temperature lower than 8°C were respectively 73% and 72%.

Control Authority

In 1988 the State Pollution Control Authority in Norway made recommendations regarding process designs for small wastewater treatment plants. Amongst these were recommendations for biological/chemical plants where biofilm reactors were used in combination with pretreatment in large septic tanks and chemical post treatment. At the same time the socalled “moving bed biofilm reactor” (MBBR) was developed by a Norwegian company. In this paper, experiences from a small wastewater treatment plant, based on the MBBR and on the recommendations mentioned, will be presented.
