Graywater Treatment Efficiency and Nutrient Removal Using Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) Systems: A Comprehensive Review.

Using wastewater in response to water-related challenges from climate variation has gained significance. Various sophisticated technologies have been developed to meet the demand for wastewater treatment and reuse. Graywater, an intrinsic component of wastewater, is acknowledged for its practical potential in the context of reuse. Decentralized wastewater treatment systems, exemplified by Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBRs), have emerged as efficient alternatives in urban settings. By comparing the physicochemical analyses conducted in the three treatment units and evaluating the treatment efficiency of each unit, we will first establish the validity of the MBBR system for treating and recycling graywater, achieving up to 98% elimination rates for BOD5. Subsequently, the possibility of optimizing the system will be explored by evaluating the different treatment stages of MBBR reactors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
