15. Once upon a time..
The BioBooster project has been 10 years in
the making..
Based on Biofilm theory a very efficient
biological wastewater treatment was invented
and constructed in reactors
Named PBR (Pressurised Biofilm Reactor)
the technology is capable of reducing the
biological load in process wastewater
18. Cleaner water - greener environment
- require MBR-
• The Grundfos BioBooster PBR - biological pre-
treatment with a removal rate of 80% was not
enough
• The Grundfos BioBooster MBR (Membrane
Bioreactor) allows for full treatment resulting in
supreme water quality:
– allowing for direct discharge to receiving waters
– water reuse, in those areas where lack of water
is a concern.
• The reactor, similarly to its predecessor PBR, is also
placed in containers to ensure easy scalability.
21. •The odourless plant is located in urban clusters between 0.1 – 1.5 MGD
•WW is treated at the point source of pollution and reused
•Natural growth of industry requires a slight adjustment in treatment capacity
•Impact on surface waters is minimised
•Reduction in need for heavy investments in infrastructure
•A sustainable and decentralised solution that minimises uncertainty of
funding and planning for extra capacity
Outcome: the local community is self-sustained
The ideal WWTP scenario
22. Two reactors, two patented treatment technologies
•Biological / mechanical Pre-treatment with PBR technology
•Full-treatment and water reuse with MBR technology
23. • Rotating disc system
• 2100 discs
• 2025 ft² biofilm surface
• Enclosed reactor
• 18 ft long
• Modular system

26. Advantages
• Industrialised product
• Faster delivery time
• Lower investment in infrastructure
• Can be stacked on top of each other where footprint is limited
• Modular and easy to expand treatment capacity
• Easy relocation or resale thus protecting the invested capital
• Odourless and enclosed; can be therefore located inside urban areas
27. From vision..

The plant consists of:
•1 Control container
•1Pre treatment container
•1 Supply/pump container
•2 MBR containers (32 MBR reactors)
•2 Denitrification containers
•Sludge storage tank
