ADI's aerobic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology has many benefits:

• Better resistance to sludge bulking than other types of activated sludge systems.
• No need for external clarifiers.
• Easily adaptable to nutrient removal.
• Greater system flexibility and control than other types of activated sludge systems.
• Less land required and less processing equipment to maintain than other types of activated sludge systems.
• Greater ability to meet effluent limitations (organic and nutrient) than other types of activated sludge waste/wastewater treatment systems.
• Can retrofit existing tanks, basins, ponds.

Suitable conditions for SBR technology:

• Existing plant not meeting effluent limits.
• Increased factory production and work loads.
• Nitrogen and/or phosphorus removal being imposed.
• Surcharges are too expensive.
• Municipalities forcing industry to pretreat.
