Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors
For Reliable Treatment
LiTENDA supplies complete MBBR systems — bio media, retention screens, mixers, and aeration components — engineered for high-load, low-footprint biological wastewater treatment in municipal and industrial applications.
What is an
MBBR System?
A Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) is a biological treatment process that suspends free-moving plastic carriers inside the reactor tank. Microorganisms colonize the carrier surfaces, forming a biofilm that breaks down organic matter and ammonia far more efficiently than conventional suspended-growth systems.
LiTENDA's MBBR systems combine high-surface-area bio media, retention screens, mixers, and aeration equipment into a complete package — built to handle high organic loads in a smaller tank footprint, with no need for sludge recirculation or backwashing.
Every project starts with free technical consultation and a system sized to your flow rate and influent quality — our engineers help you select the right carrier type and fill ratio before you order.

MBBR System Advantages
Every MBBR package we design is built around real plant conditions — not lab-scale assumptions. Here's what sets our systems apart.
What LiTENDA Equipment Does
Inside Your MBBR
Each piece of equipment plays a specific role in maximizing biofilm activity and keeping the reactor running smoothly.
MBBR System Working Principle
Wastewater enters the aeration tank and mixes fully with suspended carriers, where biofilm bacteria break down organic matter and ammonia. Aeration keeps both the media and the oxygen supply moving, while a final solid-liquid separation step removes any detached biofilm before discharge.
Benefits of the MBBR Process
Compared with conventional activated sludge systems, MBBR delivers higher treatment capacity in a smaller footprint with lower operating complexity.
Not sure which MBBR configuration fits your plant?
Our engineers will size bio media volume, fill ratio, and screen capacity to your flow and load — free of charge.
Where MBBR Gets Results
From municipal upgrades to industrial pretreatment, MBBR adapts to a wide range of wastewater challenges.
