Conventional wastewater treatment technologies, such as sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), have been in use for many years and have been extensively tested and refined. They are well-understood and have a proven track record of effectively treating wastewater. They also tend to be less expensive and require less maintenance than some newer technologies.

​

On the other hand, newer technologies may offer some advantages over conventional technologies. For example, some new technologies can treat a wider range of pollutants, or can achieve higher levels of treatment. Some new technologies may also be more energy efficient, or require less land area.

​

It is important to evaluate the specific needs of a wastewater treatment system and compare the benefits and drawbacks of different technologies before making a decision.

​

Another advantage of SBRs is that they are flexible and adaptable to different wastewater characteristics, they can be operated in a variety of modes, such as batch, fill-and-draw, or continuous mode. They also have a high degree of automation, which reduces labor costs and improves control of the treatment process.
