Applications

Wastewater treatment challenges don't come in one shape. From aging municipal lagoons to high-strength industrial waste streams, MMB adapts to deliver measurable performance gains inside your existing infrastructure — without new construction.

Lagoon Nitrification

Lagoon infrastructure is effective in equalizing flow, storing and stabilizing biosolids, separating solids, and oxidation. MMBs can supplement lagoon treatment by cost effectively enhancing ammonia removal and nitrification to allow existing plant owners to benefit from their infrastructure for many more years.

  • Accelerated Solids Digestion

    MMB breaks down accumulated biosolids in place, reducing sludge volume without mechanical dredging.

  • Restored Hydraulic Capacity

    Reduced biosolids restore effective lagoon volume and improve hydraulic retention time.

  • Ammonia and BOD Control

    MMB delivers reliable nitrification and organics removal even under variable temperature conditions.

  • Reduced Disposal Cost

    Less accumulated solids means less frequent, less costly biosolids removal events.

Agricultural Waste

High-strength agricultural waste streams overwhelm conventional treatment systems. MMB handles the variability and intensity of agricultural loading, delivering robust biological performance that keeps pace with production demands and tightening discharge requirements.

  • High-Strength Waste Handling

    MMB sustains performance under the elevated BOD and ammonia loads of agricultural effluent.

  • Odor Reduction

    Accelerated biological oxidation reduces volatile compounds responsible for odor at the source.

  • Nutrient Load Management

    MMB reduces ammonia and nitrogen loads to meet land application and discharge standards.

  • Scalable for Seasonal Variability

    Modular design allows capacity to match peak loading without permanent infrastructure commitments.

Anaerobic Digesters

Anaerobic digesters produce nutrient-rich effluent that's difficult to discharge without further treatment. MMB provides the aerobic polishing step necessary to meet your discharge goals — without adding new treatment trains or expanding your footprint.

  • Digestate Polishing

    MMB reduces residual BOD and ammonia in digester effluent to
    discharge-compliant levels.

  • High-Ammonia Tolerance

    MMB’s nitrifying biofilm handles ammonia concentrations that destabilize conventional suspended growth systems.

  • Footprint-Efficient Post-Treatment

    High-rate aerobic treatment in a compact zone eliminates the need for large
    post-digestion plants.

  • Biogas System Compatibility

    MMB integrates downstream without disrupting digester operation or biogas production.

The addition of MMBs within our existing activated sludge system allowed us to consistently meet ammonia limits, reduce the mixed liquor stored, and improve clarification performance.
