Filter media
Biopipe 600
Biopipe 600 has a tubular shape with internal fins and large openings, offering a large surface area of 600m²/m³ and high voidage of 82.5%.
Biopipe 600 is pipe-like shape is designed to provide a large protected surface area for biofilm attachment and hosting the bacteria culture when the media are suspended in water. A durable, rugged and highly efficient media, it is ideal 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 microorganisms 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.
The media can be easily retrofitted into existing wastewater treatment works to upgrade, reactivate and modernise old type biofilter treatment plants – much cheaper than reconstruction of the treatment plants.
