A Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) plant is a is a type of wastewater treatment system (fixed-film) designed for secondary treatment, specifically targeting organic pollutants in sewage or industrial wastewater. it consists of slowly rotating discs partially submerged in wastewater. Microorganisms form a biofilm on these discs, breaking down organic pollutants as they rotate. Oxygen is supplied through aeration, supporting aerobic degradation. RBC’s are an efficient and effective method for the biological treatment of wastewater, particularly in situations where space is limited or where low energy consumption is desired.
ABCO Water is proud to be the exclusive Australian Distributor for PlanetTEK’s PlanetDISC® Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) technologies. Featuring ultimate simplicity in its design, operation and maintenance, the RBC has become one of the most efficient wastewater treatment technologies around the world.
ABCO Water’s Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) plants are used for the biological treatment of sewage or industrial wastewater for either compliant discharge to the environment or reuse applications. For a packaged wastewater treatment plant this typically means the reduction of BOD, TSS and E.coli prior to discharge via a spray field. RBC plants can be either stand-alone or as part of a complete treatment system as pre or post treatment to other technologies
