KEE delivers low-energy RBC wastewater solutions that ensure consistent, reliable performance for your plant. Our Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) water treatment technology is a proven method for biological reduction, requiring minimal maintenance for any scale, and we offer full lifecycle support.
High-Performance Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) Plants
KEE is a leading provider of high-performance Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) sewage treatment plants that offer a reliable, proven method for on-site wastewater management. The RBC water treatment process employs slowly rotating discs that support an attached-growth biomass, ensuring consistent and effective contaminant reduction while minimising energy consumption.
Why Choose KEE RBC Wastewater Systems?
Our RBC wastewater solutions are expertly designed for efficiency and durability, making them an ideal choice for off-grid, rural, commercial, and industrial sites that require continuous treatment with low operational input.
Key Advantages of the Rotating Biological Contactor
- Energy-Efficient Operation: RBC systems consume significantly less energy than comparable processes, resulting in lower operational costs, especially important for remote locations.
- Proven Biological Reduction: The reliable attached-growth biofilm ensures effective removal of both Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and ammonia, resulting in high-quality final effluent.
- Low-Maintenance Design: With minimal moving parts, our RBC water treatment units are compact and silent, requiring less operator intervention than many traditional systems.
- Scalable and Customisable: KEE provides RBC wastewater plants in modular configurations, enabling flexibility to handle flows from small domestic needs to large-scale commercial volumes.
From supplying new systems and complete treatment plant installations to offering comprehensive fixed-price operation, maintenance, and expert refurbishment of existing units, KEE Process delivers full lifecycle support for every Rotating Biological Contactor plant.

FAQs
Can RBC water treatment handle nutrient removal?
Modern RBC (Rotating Biological Contactor) water treatment systems are highly effective at nitrification, which is the process of removing ammonia. Additionally, these systems can be configured to remove phosphorus. This capability makes them particularly suitable for sites that need to comply with strict environmental discharge permits from the Environment Agency or local water authorities.
Are RBC plants suitable for seasonal sites like campsites or hotels?
One of the greatest strengths of RBC water treatment is its capacity to manage variable loads effectively. Since the bacteria remain attached to the discs (known as fixed-film), the biomass is not washed away during periods of high flow. This makes it an ideal solution for pubs, hotels, and holiday parks, where water usage can fluctuate from week to week.
What are the main advantages of RBC water treatment?
Compared to standard aeration systems, RBC (Rotating Biological Contactor) water treatment offers several key benefits for operators:
- Low Energy Consumption: The slow shaft rotation requires significantly less power than high-pressure air blowers.
- Quiet and Odourless Operation: These units operate almost silently and, when properly maintained, produce no unpleasant odours.
Stable Performance: The fixed-film biomass is highly resilient to “shock loads” and flow fluctuations, making it more stable than suspended-growth systems.
