Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) media has potential to expand wastewater treatment plant capacity. It allows higher levels of biological solids than suspended growth activated sludge systems. Meaning that you can run high MCRT & lower F/M for a given aeration basin/secondary clarifier.

Lower F/M means less solids production - older biomass but this does require sufficient D.O. to prevent filamentous bacteria development.

Helps if your clarifiers are not able to support high MLSS due to hydraulic constraints.

Cost Savings

The Advanced MBBR QuaChip 3.0 offers a price-to-surface area ratio which is more favourable than many other carrier types. To properly evaluate offers for carrier media you need to compare prices of different media not per m3 but per m2 since each media has a different m2/m3 ratio. The protected active surface area (in 2/m3) and not solely the volume (in m3) of carrier media is what is needed to make an accurate cost comparison.

Energy Savings

The special shape and specific gravity of the colonized Advanced MBBR QuaChip 3.0 provide unique motion characteristics which require less agitation energy in the form of process air supply in order to keep the carrier suspended in the wastewater. By using the MBBR BioChip 3.0 Wastewater treatment operators will benefit from significant savings in operational expenditure.

Longevity / Wear

Each Advanced MBBR QuaChip 3.0 media has a very low mass compared to its size. Consequently, the impulse transferred when contact is made with another carrier element is insignificant thus drastically reducing abrasion and wear. Other tubular carrier types (often injection-moulded and heavy related to their size) conversely break after a certain time in operation leaving carrier parts on the water surface in the clarifiers of wastewater treatment plants.

How Quachip MBBR Media Works

Quachip MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) media are small, free-floating plastic carriers designed with a high internal protected surface area where bacteria colonize and form a biofilm. As the media move freely within the aeration tank (kept in place by a retaining screen at the outlet), the attached biomass breaks down organic pollutants far more efficiently than suspended-growth activated sludge alone, within the same tank volume.

Because the biofilm is protected within the media's internal structure, it resists being washed out during shock loads, giving MBBR systems more stable performance under variable influent conditions than conventional activated sludge.

How Much Media Do You Need?

Media quantity depends on your BOD load, target organic loading rate, and desired filling ratio. Our MBBR Media Sizing Guide walks through the full calculation with a worked example — or contact us directly with your reactor volume and BOD load for a free sizing recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Quachip MBBR Media

What is the price of Quachip MBBR Media in India?+
Quachip MBBR Media is typically priced by the cubic metre (m³) of media volume, ranging from ₹30,000–60,000 per m³ depending on media type and order quantity. Contact us with your reactor volume for an exact quotation.
What filling ratio should I use for Quachip MBBR Media?+
The standard filling ratio for aerobic MBBR reactors is 50–67% by volume. Higher ratios restrict carrier movement and oxygen transfer efficiency. Our engineers calculate the optimal filling ratio based on your BOD/COD loading and target effluent quality.
What surface area does Quachip MBBR Media offer?+
Quachip MBBR Media provides a high protected surface area of 500–900 m²/m³, giving bacteria a large, protected surface to colonise — enabling higher biological treatment capacity within the same reactor volume compared to conventional activated sludge.
Can Quachip MBBR Media be added to an existing activated sludge tank?+
Yes — this is one of the most common uses. Adding Quachip MBBR Media to an existing aeration tank (with a retaining screen at the outlet) increases biological treatment capacity without new civil construction, making it a cost-effective way to upgrade an overloaded STP/ETP.
