How to Reduce Scaling of MBBR Media in Dairy Wastewater?
Introduction We often use MBBR media in dairy wastewater to reduce the levels of BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) in the water. However, during the long-term water purification process, the surfaces of these MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) reactors may scale. At this time, the activity of the biofilm on the surface decreases, the water flow cannot pass through smoothly, and ultimately the wastewater fails to meet the discharge standards as scheduled. In this article, AquaSust will learn about the causes of scaling on the surface of these media and effective treatment measures. Please read on to learn more. Causes of Scaling of MBBR Media in Dairy Wastewater Water Quality: The organic matter in beverage wastewater , under the metabolic action of microorganisms, will produce viscous extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). It acts like glue to promote the aggregation of microorganisms and their adsorption on the surface of the...
