Our Products || MBBR Conversions
MBBR conversions offer a cost-effective way to upgrade existing wastewater treatment plants, delivering significant performance improvements without the need for major new infrastructure. By integrating advanced biofilm carrier technology into existing tanks, plants can achieve higher treatment capacity, improved compliance, and extended asset life.
With decades of experience in biological treatment, our conversion solutions are designed to maximise the value of your current assets while preparing your facility for future demand.
MBBR conversions transform conventional activated sludge or fixed-film systems into high-efficiency biofilm reactors by introducing specially engineered carrier media into existing process tanks.
These carriers provide a large surface area for biofilm growth, enabling a more robust and resilient biological process. As wastewater flows through the system, the biofilm degrades organic matter and facilitates nitrification, even under fluctuating loads.
The system is carefully designed to integrate with existing infrastructure, including aeration, hydraulics, and control systems. Minimal civil modifications are required, allowing upgrades to be implemented quickly and efficiently with limited disruption to ongoing operations.
- Increased Treatment Capacity – Boost plant capacity by up to 35% using existing tank volumes - no major expansion required.
- Improved Effluent Quality – Achieve enhanced BOD and ammonia removal, even under variable or peak loading conditions.
- Cost-Effective Upgrade - Avoid expensive new builds by upgrading existing assets to modern treatment standards.
- Minimal Disruption – Fast, well-planned installation enables rapid commissioning with minimal downtime.
- Resilient Process Performance – Biofilm systems naturally adapt to load fluctuations, ensuring stable and consistent treatment.
- Compact & Flexible Solution - Ideal for space-constrained sites where traditional expansion is not feasible.
- Extended Asset Life - Upgrade ageing infrastructure and defer capital expenditure on full plant replacement.
- Tailored to Your Site - Each conversion is engineered to suit existing tank configurations, hydraulics, and compliance requirements.
- Activated sludge plants requiring capacity increases
- Fixed-film or trickling filter systems needing performance upgrades
- Plants struggling to meet tightening discharge consents
- Facilities experiencing increased or variable influent loads
- Space-limited sites where expansion is not practical
- Ageing infrastructure requiring modernisation without full replacement
