Hyper MBBR
Hyper MBBR is an advanced biological treatment system that combines moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) technology with high-efficiency hydrodynamic mixing and fine-bubble aeration, improving oxygen distribution and media movement within the reactor.

Conventional MBBR systems rely on coarse-bubble aeration to supply oxygen and move the media at the same time. This raises energy consumption by up to 40% and increases media collisions, causing biofilm detachment and lower treatment efficiency.
Hyper MBBR separates the two functions: a Hyper Mixer generates gentle, uniform hydraulic movement of the media, while dedicated fine-bubble diffusers transfer oxygen with high efficiency.
Hydrodynamic mixing
An engineered impeller generates gentle, uniform circular movement of the media without high shear forces.
Fine-bubble aeration
Diffusers producing bubbles under 2 mm increase the gas–liquid contact area.
Separation of functions
Aeration for oxygen only and mixing for media movement only, raising efficiency and stabilizing the biological system.
Key advantages
Less biofilm detachment
Gentle movement reduces media collisions and preserves biomass.
Higher oxygen transfer
Fine bubbles transfer more oxygen, by 25–30% than coarse bubbles.
Lower energy
Total energy reduced by approx. 30–40%, especially at low organic loads.
Longer media life
Less abrasion extends media life and reduces replacement and cleaning.
High biological stability
Faster response to load changes and faster recovery after operational shocks.
Media with a surface area of 550 m²/m³
Compatible with Maskoub's MBBR high-surface-area media.

Applications
From the Maskoub stand at AquaEnergy Expo
“Instead of using large volumes of air to turn over the bio-media, we use a Hyper Mixer with very low power consumption, and fine bubbles for oxygen.”
