Water has become increasingly important in industries such as food and beverage and pulp and paper in recent years. This has boosted water reuse processes at production sites. Salinity concentrations rise as a result of water reuse, causing scaling and precipitation of inorganic substances. In anaerobic treatment processes, this leads to issues in operations such as shutdown of plants and loss of removal capacity, due to biomass mineralization. Biothane has developed the Biobed® External Biomass Separator (EBS) technology to manage these challenges.

The perfect solution for wastewaters with high scaling and precipitation potential
Biobed® EBS is designed for maintenance during operations and performs at maximum availability, making it ideal for industries that require robust effluent treatment for regulatory compliance.
It is the perfect solution for wastewaters with high scaling and precipitation potential, as there is no need to empty or open the reactor. The Biobed® EBS reactor has no internals and the EBS can be easily isolated for the Cleaning in Place (CIP) procedure. This reduces downtime and allows for maintenance without affecting operational availability.
The Biobed® EBS is a compact solution with a small footprint resulting in low investment costs. The EBS modules are pre-fabricated and have a plug and play installation. Compared to aerobic treatment, anaerobic treatment reduces sludge by more than a factor 10. Biogas is produced and can be used as an energy source resulting in very low operational costs.
Fit for retrofit
Any reactor can be retrofitted to Biobed® EBS with any of our standard EBS modules
Benefits of Biobed® EBS
- Flexibility to cope with future needs: our EBS units are modular allowing more modules to be easily added to increase plant capacity
- Compatibility with any (high-rate) reactor: save on CAPEX by easily upgrading your existing anaerobic reactors to achieve increased capacity and performance
- No complex internal parts: using our EBS units eliminates the risk of internal reactor blockage (risers or downcomers) or calcification of internals
