Sequential Batch Reactor

Sequencing batch reactors (SBR) or sequential batch reactors are industrial processing tanks for the treatment of wastewater. SBR reactors treat biosolids, sewage, sludge or other output from aerobic or anaerobic digesters in "batches."

  The Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR) cleans the wastewater in one or more batch reactors according to a predetermined sequence of operations. The system performs equalization, aeration and clarification in a single batch reactor.
Usually the Pipelife SBR system consists of at least two tanks. In this kind of configuration the first tank – the settlement tank – is used to retain the non-solvent particles. Because of their physical characteristics the non-solvent particles are discarded at the bottom of the settlement tank. The rest of the wastewater is conveyed to the second reactor by the pump on the reactor unit – the Swimmer Unit into the second tank – the SBR.
