Advanced Wastewater Treatment by Sequencing Batch Reactor Technology

Intellect Aqua Private Limited is a leading provider of SBR Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) designed for efficient and reliable wastewater treatment. Our advanced Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology ensures high treatment efficiency while requiring less space and lower operational costs.

SBR technology is a modern activated sludge process where wastewater treatment occurs in a single reactor tank operating in sequential cycles. The process integrates equalization, aeration, clarification, and settling in the same tank, making it highly efficient and compact.

Our SBR STP systems are widely used in apartments, commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, industries, and municipal wastewater treatment plants.

What is SBR Technology?

The Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is a biological wastewater treatment process where wastewater is treated in batch cycles rather than continuous flow.

SBR Tank

In this system

  • Wastewater enters the reactor tank
  • Microorganisms break down organic pollutants
  • Treated water is separated from sludge
  • Clean water is discharged or reused

Because the process occurs in a single reactor tank, SBR eliminates the need for primary and secondary clarifiers, reducing plant footprint and construction cost.

SBR Treatment Process

The SBR STP process used by Intellect Aqua Private Limited consists of multiple stages designed for effective treatment.

    1. Screening
  • Incoming wastewater first passes through screening systems to remove large solids and debris.
  • 2. Fill Phase
  • Wastewater is transferred into the SBR reactor tank for treatment.
  • 3. Aeration Phase
  • Air is supplied through blowers to promote the growth of microorganisms that break down organic pollutants.
  • 4. Settling Phase
  • After aeration stops, the sludge settles at the bottom of the tank.
  • 5. Decant Phase
  • A specialized decanter system removes the treated water without disturbing the settled sludge.
  • 6. Post Treatment
  • The treated water may undergo:
    • Filtration
    • Disinfection
    • Equalization

    to meet discharge or reuse standards.

Key Features

SBR systems offered by Intellect Aqua Private Limited provide several operational advantages:

    Compact Plant Design
  • SBR systems require smaller land area compared to conventional treatment systems.
  • Fully Automated Operation
  • The treatment process is controlled through automatic control panels, sensors, and valves ensuring efficient performance.
  • Flexible Tank Construction
  • SBR tanks can be constructed using:
    • RCC Tanks – suitable for municipal and large-scale projects
    • Mild Steel (MS) Tanks with anti-corrosion coating – ideal for industrial applications
    Efficient Aeration Systems
  • Advanced aeration systems and positive displacement blowers maintain optimal oxygen levels for microbial activity.

Performance of SBR Wastewater Treatment

SBR technology provides treatment efficiency comparable to conventional activated sludge systems.

Typical Treated Water Quality:

Parameter Treated Water Quality
BOD < 10 mg/L
TSS < 10 mg/L
Total Nitrogen 5 – 8 mg/L
Total Phosphorus 1 – 2 mg/L

Overall BOD removal efficiency ranges from 85% to 95%, ensuring high-quality treated water suitable for reuse.
