MBBR vs SBR vs MBR

Compare sewage and effluent treatment technologies based on cost, performance, space requirement and compliance.

Why Technology Selection Matters

Choosing the wrong treatment technology increases operating cost, causes compliance failure and reduces plant life. MBBR, SBR and MBR are the most commonly used technologies in India.

Core Technology Comparison

MBBR

Low cost
Simple operation
Larger footprint

SBR

Moderate cost
Batch operation
Medium footprint

MBR

Highest cost
Best treated water quality
Compact design

Cost Comparison (Indicative)

  • ✔ MBBR: Lowest CAPEX & OPEX
  • ✔ SBR: Moderate CAPEX, controlled OPEX
  • ✔ MBR: High CAPEX & membrane replacement cost
