The various stages in the sequence

are as follows:
Stage 1: Filling
During this stage the SBR Tank is filled with the
influent wastewater. In order to maintain suitable
F/M (food to microorganism) ratios, the
wastewater should be admitted into the tank in a
rapid, controlled manner. This method functions
similarly to a selector, which encourages the
growth of certain microorganisms with better
settling characteristics.
Stage 2: Reaction
This stage involves the utilization of biochemical

Stage 3: Settling
During this stage, aeration is stopped and the
sludge settles leaving clear, treated effluent
above the sludge blanket. Duration for settling
varies from 45 to 60 minutes depending on the
number of cycles per day.
Stage 4: Decanting
At this stage of the process effluent is removed
from the tank through the decanter, without
disturbing the settled sludge.
Stage 5: Idling
The SBR Tank waits idle until it is time to
commence a new cycle with the filling stage.
Stage 6: Sludge Wasting Excess activated
sludge is wasted periodically during the SBR
operation. As with any activated sludge treatment
