Presentation Transcript

  1. Rotating Biological Contactor Rotating Biological Contactors, commonly called RBC’s, are used in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The primary function of these bio-reactors at WWTPs is the reduction organic matter.

  2. Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) • A suspended/fixed growth biological treatment processes used to consume organic matter (BOD) from wastewater. • Consists of 2-4 m diameter disks, closely spaced on a rotating horizontal axis • Disks are covered with a biofilm. • The disks are only partially submerged in wastewater.

  3. Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) • As the disk rotates the biofilm is exposed to the wastewater only part of the time. • The rotation in and out of the wastewater serves to vary the feeding cycle (starve/gorge) of the bacteria and microorganisms that make up the biofilm. • The shaft rotates about about 1-2 rpm (slowly). • Some advantages: Less Upset, High Loading Rate, Nitrification/De-nitrification, Low O&M Cost, Durable Constructions,Odorless, No Noise
