Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) for Organic Wastewater Treatment
The Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) is an established and efficient biological wastewater treatment system that utilizes a series of rotating discs to support microbial biofilm growth. As the discs rotate, the biofilm alternately contacts wastewater and air, facilitating the aerobic degradation of organic pollutants. This process effectively reduces biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), making it especially suitable for treating organic-rich wastewater from both municipal and industrial sources.
RBC systems are recognized for their operational reliability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance requirements. They provide a stable environment for beneficial microorganisms to thrive, ensuring consistent treatment performance. Due to their robust design and ability to handle variable loads, RBCs are widely implemented in applications ranging from sewage treatment plants to food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical industrial facilities.
