Sequencing Batch Reactor Technology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Environmental Biotechnology

Part of the book series: Handbook of Environmental Engineering ((HEE,volume 10))

Abstract

Such Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) processes as Aqua SBR, Omniflo, Fluidyne, CASS, ICEAS and their applicability on a treatment plant are considered in this chapter. Advantages and disadvantages and such design criteria as process parameters, construction of reactor, and process safety altogether with process performance, operation, maintenance, and costs altogether with packaged SBR for onsite systems are described.
