The results of an evaluation of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology used at several wastewater treatment plants is described. Experiences of the owners, operating personnel, and consulting engineers associated with these facilities are described. SBRs are a viable and cost-effective alternative to conventional continuous-flow technologies. The inherent advantages include equalization, ideal settling, simple operation, compact layout, and perhaps economies in cost (capital and O and M). 20 references.
