Precision Floating Decanting for Superior SBR Treated Water Quality
The BIOPURE® SBR Decanter is a premium floating decanting system designed specifically for Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) treatment loops. By gently and uniformly withdrawing clarified supernatant from the surface without disturbing the delicate settled sludge blanket below, it consistently guarantees excellent treated effluent parameters.
Built entirely of robust, corrosion-resistant stainless steel with dual-layered mechanical seals, this self-leveling unit smoothly rides the changing water boundaries. It provides structural integrity and reliable automatic operations under intense municipal and industrial daily sequences.

Key Features of BIOPURE® SBR Decanter
Precision-Engineered for High Structural Integrity and Operating Security
Floating Decanter Design
Rides the surface to withdraw water from the top, avoiding sludge intrusion.
Uniform Surface Withdrawal
Subsurface weir prevents scum, oil, and floating floatables from escaping.
Zero Sludge Disturbance
Smooth slow-speed vertical movement preserves settled biomass blanket.
Corrosion Resistant MOC
Premium SS304 or SS316 construction ensures decades of operating life.
Smooth, Quiet Operation
Premium driving motors and heavy joints mean robust performance.
Low Routine Maintenance
Minimal mechanical wear points result in low lifecycle and labor costs.
PLC & SCADA Compatible
Easy coordination with SBR controller loops, motorized actuators and level probes.
Versatile Fitments
Perfectly adapted for municipal wastewater and tough industrial STPs.
Advantages over Conventional Systems
How our floating decanter outperforms conventional fixed pipes and manual siphons
| Operating Parameter | BIOPURE® Floating Decanter | Fixed Decant Pipe | Manual Siphon / Valve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treated Water Quality | Excellent (Turbidity < 5 NTU) | Variable (Risk of scum draw) | Poor (Frequent solid draw) |
| Sludge Carryover Prevention | 100% Secure (Subsurface intake) | Medium (Depends on level) | Low (High risk) |
| Operating Depth Range | Dynamic (Follows liquid line) | Fixed Limit | Manual Intervention Needed |
| Surface Scum & Floatables Entry | Prevented via baffle weir | No (Draws top floating scum) | No |
| Process Automation | Fully Automated (PLC / Motorized) | Partial | Manual Only |
| Energy Consumption | Minimal (Gravity discharge) | Minimal | Zero |
