TLDR
In this article, an aeration basin was converted to an aerated equalization tank and two existing trickling filters were replaced by two moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs), attached to small plastic elements that move freely along with the water in the reactors.

Simultaneous removal of COD and ammonium from landfill leachate using an anaerobic-aerobic moving-bed biofilm reactor system.

TL;DR: The performance of a moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) system with an anaerobic-aerobic arrangement was investigated to treat landfill leachate for simultaneous removal of COD and ammonium and it was found that theAnaerobic MBBR played a major role in COD removal due to methanogenesis, and the aerobic MBBR acted as COD-polishing and ammonia removal step.

To study the performance of biocarriers in moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) technology and kinetics of biofilm for retrofitting the existing aerobic treatment systems: a review

TL;DR: The moving bed biofilm reactor has proved to be effective in removing up to 90 % chemical oxygen demand and 95 % biochemical oxygen demand with nutrients from the effluent stream at optimum condition, provided there is sufficient retention time.

Energy recovery from wastewaters with high-rate anaerobic digesters

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace the evolution of high-rate anaerobic digester technology and provide an overview of its present capabilities and make a case for an accelerated shift from energy-intensive aerobic processes to anaerobatic processes which are not only more energy-efficient but enable global warming control by methane capture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of pesticide wastewater by moving-bed biofilm reactor combined with Fenton-coagulation pretreatment.

TL;DR: With the improvement of biodegradability by using Fenton pretreatment, also due to the high concentration of biomass and high biofilm activity using the fluidizing bio-carriers, high removal efficiency and stable operation could be achieved in the biological process even at a high COD loading.
