Biological Treatment:
Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs)
What Are
Sequencing Batch Reactors?
Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) are a
type of activated sludge system that incorporates aeration,
clarification, effluent decanting, and sludge wasting into a
single vessel. The SBR is operated in batch mode through fill,
aerate, settle, and decant/waste phases. The vessel can be a
tank, a basin, or even a lagoon.
Applications
SBR systems are well-suited for facilities
needing biological treatment in a compact, easy-to-operate
system. Industries that can benefit from SBRs include:

, Bakeries
, Beverage production facilities
, Breweries and Wineries
, Chemical plants
, Dairies
, Food processing plants
, Meat and poultry processing plants
, Pharmaceutical plants
, Pulp and paper mills
, Rendering plants
, Textile mills
