The High-Performance Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) for Advanced Wastewater Treatment
The Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) is an established and efficient fixed-film biological wastewater treatment technology. It is renowned for its reliability in removing organic matter and nutrients from both municipal and industrial wastewater streams. By harnessing a robust biofilm on a rotating media, the RBC system provides a highly effective and energy-efficient treatment solution.
Core Principle of Operation
The RBC process centers on a series of closely spaced, rotating discs mounted on a horizontal shaft. These discs, partially submerged in wastewater, serve as the substrate for a thriving microbial community. The fundamental principle is the continuous, alternating exposure of this biofilm to the wastewater (for nutrient adsorption) and the atmosphere (for oxygen uptake), driving efficient aerobic biodegradation.
