World Water Works, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of wastewater treatment solutions, announces it provided an advanced Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor coupled to a high rate Dissolved Air Flotation system, the Ideal MBBR-DAF™ wastewater treatment system to a leading specialty hotel in Alaska.  The new Ideal MBBR treatment system provided treatment of organic material, and an Ideal DAF provided for removal of the sloughed biomass and total suspended solids material. World Water Works retro-fitted the hotels existing tankage to create the Ideal MBBR treatment system and then added the Ideal DAF unit for solids clarification.  The system is currently being installed, with startup expected in the summer of 2014.

The MBBR technology, a state-of-the-art fixed-film biological process used for both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, is rapidly becoming the preferred biological treatment technology because it offers several advantages over the traditional activated sludge process. Coupling this technology with World Water Works’ high rate DAF technology, the Ideal MBBR-DAF™ provides a system that is far more robust, efficient, compact, scalable and flexible. The Ideal MBBR-DAF, like ASP, is a low capital cost option and often be retrofitted to existing plants as in this case. The technology requires less up front capital and is significantly less costly operationally while providing similar or better quality water than membrane bioreactor technology, another widely used municipal and industrial wastewater treatment technology.  The Ideal MBBR-DAF system does not require sludge recycling and the resultant solids are multiple times more concentrated than in an ASP or MBR system.  

As a global leader in MBBR-DAF technology, World Water Works has installed hundreds of wastewater treatment plants using made in the USA technology. The company has an award winning manufacturing facility in Oklahoma City and has also recently replicated that facility in India to provide cost effective technology world-wide.
