MBBR + Tube Settler Hybrid System: JUNTAI’s Answer to Chemical Wastewater Sludge Bulking

The Sludge Bulking Crisis in Chemical Wastewater
High COD (5,000-10,000 mg/L) and nutrient imbalance in industries like pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals trigger sludge bulking, causing:
⚠️ 30-50% loss in treatment capacity
⚠️ Rising disposal costs from poor dewatering
⚠️ Regulatory penalties for effluent violations

JUNTAI Hybrid System: 3-Step Control Mechanism
1️⃣ Biofilm Thickness Management

• Mbbr Carriers with 12mm ridges limit biofilm growth to 2-3mm (ideal for suppressing filamentous bacteria)

• Automatic biofilm detachment via controlled aeration pulses

2️⃣ HRT Optimization

• MBBR zone: 8-hour HRT ensures complete BOD removal

• Tube Settler zone: 1.5-hour HRT with 55° tilt angle captures 95% of detached biomass

3️⃣ Intelligent Sludge Recycling

• Dynamic return ratio (30-70%) based on real-time SVI monitoring

• Reduces secondary clarifier overload risk

Case Study: Detergent Factory in Vietnam
