SBR System

Fill, react, settle and decant in a single tank, reducing footprint and hydraulic retention time versus continuous-flow plants.

BOD reductionup to 90%
COD reductionup to 90%
Moving partsNone in-tank

SBR System — 1/1
Capacity rangeFrom small containerized or package units up to large multi-tank municipal or industrial plants; capacity is set by tank volume and cycle count rather than a fixed frame size.
Influent / effluent conditionsTreats municipal and industrial wastewater through a fill–react–settle–decant cycle, producing a high-quality, low BOD/COD effluent without a separate secondary clarifier.
FootprintSmaller footprint than continuous-flow activated sludge for equivalent capacity, since reaction and clarification take place in the same tank.
Operating requirementsPLC-controlled cycle sequencing (fill, react, settle, decant, idle), blower aeration and automated decanting; no moving parts submerged in the tank itself.
InstallationsFits sites where footprint is constrained or where flow arrives intermittently rather than continuously, across both industrial and municipal use.
