Compact and efficient moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) systems

Hydroflux provides advanced moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) systems designed for the efficient treatment of industrial wastewater, particularly for trade waste applications where primary treatment alone is insufficient to meet discharge requirements for organics and nutrients.

MBBR technology uses biofilm carriers within a reactor to enhance biological treatment, ensuring effective removal of organic contaminants and nutrients while offering a compact and robust solution. With a very small footprint, minimal sludge production, and low maintenance requirements, our MBBR solutions provide a reliable and cost-effective approach to industrial wastewater treatment while ensuring compliance with strict discharge regulations.

Covered anaerobic lagoons (CALs) for efficient wastewater treatment and biogas recovery

Hydroflux provides advanced covered anaerobic lagoons (CALs) designed for the treatment of high-strength wastewater while capturing and utilising biogas. These systems create an oxygen-free environment where anaerobic bacteria break down organic matter, significantly reducing contaminants and generating methane-rich biogas for energy recovery.

Engineered for efficiency and sustainability, Hydroflux CALs help industries such as food and beverage and agriculture, reduce operational costs, minimise environmental impact, and reduce the load on downstream aerobic treatment systems. With durable gas-tight covers, optimised mixing, and gas handling systems, our CALs offer a cost-effective and reliable solution for wastewater treatment and renewable energy production.
