Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) are a decades-old technology that may work well in theory but come with a variety of challenges in practice. Some of these challenges include:
- Complicated Operation and Maintenance
- Limited Expansion Capacity
- Regular System Downtime Required for Filling, Settling, and Decanting
- Changes in Organic Load Strength Can Affect Effluent Quality

If you’re looking to upgrade an old SBR, bioprocessH2O can provide all the required equipment to modify your existing treatment basin into a bioFAS™ Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR), bioFLOW Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), or bioPULSE Airlift MBR.
