Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) activated sludge method
SBR is a new technology for the treatment of domestic and
industrial waste waters.The SBR process can treat all the waste
water that can be treated by activated sludge process, which include
anoix/oxic systems, aerated lagoons ,extended aeration processes,
rotating biological contactors and oxidation ditches. The SBR is true
batch reactor treatment mode, which does not allow waste water to
enter the reactor during react .settle decant process. SBR can be
describe in five stages:
 1. Inflow process: Inject the waste water, react after the tank is

fulfilled.
 2. Aeration reaction process: When the tank is filled fully with

sewage, then start the aeration, which is the most important

process, according to the purpose of sewage treatment.
 3.Sedimentation: Separate the mixture of mud and water ,
equivalent to a secondary sedimentation tank.
 4. Discharge process: Remove the supernatant produced
after the aeration precipitation, as the treated water and
discharge, until reach the lowest water level in the reactor,
leave part of the activated sludge from the reactor as seed
sludge.
 5. Standby process: After water discharge, the reactor is at a
standstill state and waiting for a period.
