R-Series System
BBR Enviro System’s R-Series was developed for treating odours from food waste rendering plant applications, typically comprising:
- Total Reduced Sulphur compounds (sulphides and mercaptans)
- VOC’s including aldehydes, ethylamine, organic acids and PAH's
- High ammonia concentrations
Typically, these emissions must first be cleaned of fats and particulates before the cocktail of odorous compounds can be removed by a combination of wet scrubbing and biofiltration.
The R- Series uses a three phase approach for the removal of pollutants:
Phase 1 - Veritech Filter
- Fats and particulates are removed through mechanical filtration.
Phase 2 - Wet Scrubbing
- Soluble pollutants (Ammonia) are absorbed into the scrubber brine and oxidised to harmless biproducts.
Phase 3 - Biofiltration
The R-Series is the smallest and most cost effective system available for its application. This is mainly because we combine three processes into one system, thereby targeting specific pollutants more effectively:
Other advantages include:
Replacement of the Biofilter media is not necessary
Operational feedback and maintenance contracts are available

- VOC’s and TRS’s are oxidised by bacteria to form a harmless bio-sludge. The bio-sludge waste falls to the bottom of the filter and is drained away from the plant on a continuous basis.
- The media’s humidity is controlled to optimise phase transition of pollutants.
The R-Series is the smallest and most cost effective system available for its application. This is mainly because we combine three processes into one system, thereby targeting specific pollutants more effectively:
- Wet scrubbing is a very efficient way of removing ammonia from an air stream.
- Our patented fluidised-bed biofilter has many times more active surface area per unit volume than the most efficient static bed biofilters.
- Our patented Veritech filter is proven to be the most efficient fat filter available. This ensures that downstream processes are not contaminated by fat in the emissions.
Other advantages include:
Replacement of the Biofilter media is not necessary
- The media consists of inert PVC pellets, which provide a growing surface for the bacteria. It does not compact or decompose.
- There is no deterioration of the active biomass over time, because waste bio-sludge is removed from the media on a continuous basis.
Operational feedback and maintenance contracts are available
- All operational parameters can be monitored via our website.
- We offer a full operation and maintenance service on our systems.
