Moving-bed biofilm reactor

Moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a type of wastewater treatment process that was first invented by Professor Hallvard Ødegaard at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the late 1980s.[1] The process takes place in an aeration tank with plastic carriers that a biofilm can grow on. The compact size and cheap wastewater treatment costs offers many advantages for the system, such as water reuse and nutrient removal or recovery.[2] In theory, wastewater will be no longer considered waste—it can be considered a resource.
