1. Introduction 
 
RBC system is widely applied in municipal, industrial wastewater treatment where a high degree of BOD5 and NH3 removal is required. Our BioWrap RBC combines the largest structural components standardly available with superior design to produce rugged RBC capable to have 20 years lifespand. Our Engineering staff will provide the designer with necessary assistance in developing the most efficiently sized RBC system for his particular treatment requirement. Our patented spiral type media arrangement provides the capability to custom design a system for any application.
 
2. Features 
  1. Shaft : 

  2. 30 inch diameter and 3/4 inch thickness pipe (largest shaft section modulus available in the industry) for full size units and
    24 inch diameter and 11/16 inch thickness pipe for smaller units. 
  3. Bearing : 

  4. 5, 5.5 & 7 inch diameter bearing is also the largest available in the industry for full size units.
    Self aligning, tapered roller or spherical pillow block units 
    Minimum AFBMA B10 life degree of over 200,000 hours at normal rotation speed and load. 
  5. Media :

  6. Vacuum formed HDPE continuously wound to main shaft and thermally welded within itself to produce a self supporting structure. 
    Every point of contact in the media structure is welded to assure media strength 
    Stabilised with 1.5% catrbon black to resist exposure to ultraviolet degradation. 
    Short air-water flow path media provide good media scouring action and higher oxygen levels. 
  7. Drive Unit : 

  8. Triple reduction helical torque arm reducer with service factor of 1.4 
    Reducer is driven through V-belts by a 1~7.5HP motor to produce the desire rotation speed. 
    Speed variation can be obtained by changing sheaves, a more economical and trouble free method than using variable speed drives.
3. Advantages 
  • Low energy requirements
  • Low space requirements
  • Operational simplicity
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Low system headloss
  • High treatment efficiency
  • Good resistance to shock loads
4. Benefits of short flow path 
  • High BOD5 and NH3 removal rate
  • Uniform bio-mass growth and sloughing-off rate
  • Uniform stress distribution as spirally wrap media
