SBR (Sequenzing Batch Reactor)
Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) handles all of the work of conventional continuous-flow treatment systems in just one tank.
All processes - biological, oxidation, sedimentation, nitrification and de-nitrification occur in a single tank. There is no need for separate aerating and mixing zones common in other biological processes.
Also with the SBR system there is no need for clarifiers, return activated sludge systems or bridgework, so construction and operating costs are minimized.

The SBR is particularly suited for systems:
• with a wide range of inflow and/or organic loadings
• that require minimal operator attention
• that require extremely close control of effluent quality, such as for removal of nutrients
• in small to medium size communities
• in industries with high BOD loadings such as slaughter houses, food processing, dairies and chemical plants.
