  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OXIDIZING DISINFECTANTS COMBINED WITH MOVING BED BIOFILM REACTORS
    Publication number: 20230002258
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a disinfection system configured to disinfect a first fluid. The system further includes a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) system configured to treat a second fluid, wherein the disinfection system is fluidly coupled to the MBBR system upstream of the MBBR system, downstream of the MBBR, or wherein the disinfection system is disposed in the MBBR system.
    Type: Application

  • Moving bed biofilm reactor system for selenium removal from water and wastewater
    Patent number: 11267737
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes first anoxic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) configured to receive a fluid containing selenium and to process the fluid via a first biofilm disposed on a first media to produce a first MBBR fluid by removing nitrogen from the fluid. The system further includes a second anoxic MBBR fluidly coupled to the first MBBR to receive the first MBBR fluid and to process the first MBBR fluid via a second biofilm disposed on a second media to produce a selenium enriched fluid, followed by a solid-liquid separation system to remove selenium in solid form as sludge and produce a treated effluent containing equal to or less than 5 micrograms of selenium per liter. The system includes a plurality of first sensors and first actuators disposed on the first MBBR, and a plurality of second sensors and second actuators disposed on the second MBBR.
