quick overview :
The SBR process is a biological, aerobic wastewater treatment process. In contrast to the classic activated sludge process, the individual process steps are not continuous and do not take place simultaneously, but rather are carried out in batches and sequentially in one single reactor.
The reactor is equipped with a compressor for aeration and a stirring machine. The stirring machine ensures sufficient mixing of the reactor contents even in phases without aeration (denitrification). At the end, the treated water (clear water) is extracted from the reactor and collected in a tank. This is done with a floating device, as is typical for the SBR process. Above the reactor is a device for metering an external carbon source (e.g. sugar solution) if required.
