Filter media
Biopipe®+500
Biopipe+ 500 has a wheel shape with internal fins and large openings, offering a large protected surface area of 500m²/m³ and high voidage of 83%.
Biopipe+ 500 is designed to provide a large protected surface area for the biofilm and optimal conditions for the bacteria culture when the media are suspended in water. A durable, rugged and highly efficient media for moving bed biological reactors (MBBR) and integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) systems, as well as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).
The innovative design creates a high percentage of protected surface area for micro-organisms to adhere. In turn, this increases the overall biomass concentration and can reduce the tank volume required for wastewater treatment. Large openings allow for the wastewater to freely pass through the media which helps maintain a healthy and thin biofilm.
Biopipe+ 500 is also ideal for odour scrubbing applications; the high surface area gives optimum air to wet surface contact time to help eliminate odour issues and the high voidage means a low pressure drop on the gas side, minimising fan power helping contribute to environmental and sustainability targets.
