Overview
What is a ETP — MBBR Base Plant?
Bharti Enviro's MBBR-based effluent treatment plants are designed for industrial wastewaters characterised by variable organic loads and intermittent shock discharges. The biofilm carriers provide stable treatment performance across COD loadings up to 20 kg/m³/day, making MBBR ETPs a preferred choice for pharmaceutical, chemical, and food-processing dischargers.
Key Features
- Biofilm carriers sustain treatment through batch discharge peaks and start-stop operation
- COD loading up to 20 kg BOD/m³/day — 3–5× conventional activated sludge
- Combined aerobic MBBR + anoxic selector for nitrogen removal from pharmaceutical effluent
- Sludge production 30–40% lower than conventional AS — reduced disposal cost
