Sequencing Batch Reactors: Summary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7222206
The report provides information on Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), a fill-and-draw activated sludge treatment system. SBRs are capable of handling all wastewaters commonly treated by conventional activated sludge plants. The report discusses the process, performance, design, currently operating plants, and economics of SBRs. Municipal and industrial wastewaters have both been successfully treated in SBR systems. The unit processes involved in the SBR and conventional activated sludge systems are identical. However, there is one important difference. In conventional plants, the processes are carried out simultaneously in separate tanks; whereas in SBR the processes are carried out sequentially in the same tank.
