Food and beverage wastewater treatment challenges

The food and beverage industry handles wastewater with high concentrations of organic matter, BOD, COD, and fats, oils, and grease. Dairy, meat processing, brewing, and bottling operations need adaptable treatment to meet discharge requirements.

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor technology is a compact, high-efficiency solution for facilities with limited space and fluctuating wastewater characteristics.

Why MBBR excels in food and beverage wastewater

High organic-load handling

Continuously moving biofilm carriers provide active surface area for dense biomass that efficiently degrades substantial BOD and COD loads.

Compact footprint

High treatment rates in smaller tank volumes help facilities install or upgrade treatment without extensive land or civil works.

Resilience to fluctuations

Robust biofilm tolerates changing flow and pollutant concentrations, helping maintain stable treatment during production shock loads.

Reduced sludge and maintenance

MBBR typically produces less excess sludge and does not require sludge recirculation or media backwashing, simplifying operation.

Reliable treatment for variable production

An Ecologix MBBR can efficiently manage high-strength, variable food and beverage wastewater, helping your operation meet discharge limits while reducing its treatment footprint and long-term operating burden.
