AIM
• Aim of this study is to check the efficiency of MBBR for dairy
wastewater treatment .

INTRODUCTION
MBBR process is based on the biofilm principle using
polyethylene carrier elements.
The carrier elements, which are less dense than water,0.93-
0.95 SG, provide a large protected surface for bacteria culture.
MBBR provides advantages of Activated Sludge and Trickling
Filter systems without their disadvantages.
MBBR is one of the most documented processes with many
technical publications and presentations.

DAIRY WASTEWATER
Dairy wastewater contains milk solids, detergents,
sanitizers, milk wastes, and cleaning water.
It is characterized by high concentrations of
nutrients, and organic and inorganic contents.
Salting activities during cheese production may
result in high salinity levels.
Wastewater may also contain acids, alkali with a
number of active ingredients, and disinfectants, as
well as a significant microbiological load,
pathogenic viruses, and bacteria.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
The effect of carrier’s filling rates (FLR) on the
performance of a lab-scale MBBR in terms of
organic, BOD,COD TSS;
The effect of organic loading rates (OLR) on the
performance of a lab-scale MBBR in terms of
organic, BOD ,COD TSS and
The effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the
performance of a lab-scale MBBR in terms of
organic, BOD,COD TSS.
8 Although this research focuses on OM,BOD,COD
SCOPE OF STUDY
• The scope of the study is to carry out a laboratory-scale study by conducting
a series of experiments using a specific MBBR to treat dairy wastewater. The
biofilm carriers used in these experiments were plastic Biofilm Chip.
• The reason that PE carrier was selected to be used in this experiment over
other media was the advantage of thin, distributed and smooth biomass
growth on their surface.
• The results were compared and evaluated in terms of dissolved organic
carbon (DOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency to
determine the optimal FLR, OLR and HRT.

Cont...
• My dissertation work will be done by MBBR technique, In this
technique I will find that MBBR more effective
OM,TSS,BOD/COD reduction.
• MBBR is a cost-effectiveness, Uses low cost as compare to ASP
Also it is simple process.
• No problems with odors, snails or red-worms as in air phase
fixed films.
• Easier transfer of contaminants and oxygen to the biomass
and Biofilm thickness is maintained and controlled by
19 continuous sloughing created by the aeration-mixing process.
MBBR USE FOR DISSERTATION WORK
MBBR performance and Why MBBR :
1. Self regulating biomass.
2. Flexible Design that allows for increased capacity.
3. No operational adjustments, only equipment maintenance.
4. Stable under large load variations.
5. Smaller foot prints.
6. Low investment Cost.
7. Single pass treatment.
8. Multiple applications.
9. Extremely compact and simple biological treatment system.
