K1 K3 PE05 PE08 HDPE MBBR Bio Filter Media for Wastewater and Aquaculture Treatment
K1 K3 PE05 PE08 MBBR Bio Filter Media are high-performance HDPE biofilm carriers designed for Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) systems. These media provide a large protected surface area for microbial growth, improving the biological degradation of BOD, COD, and ammonia in wastewater and aquaculture applications. Made from durable, non-toxic HDPE, the MBBR carriers feature excellent impact resistance, self-cleaning ability, and long service life. Ideal for municipal, industrial, and fish pond water treatment systems.
MBBR Media is an advanced biofilm carrier designed for Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) systems used in modern wastewater treatment processes.
It provides a large and stable surface area for microorganism attachment, enhancing the biological degradation of organic matter, ammonia, and nutrients in both industrial and municipal water systems.
Within the MBBR reactor, these MBBR carriers freely move and mix with wastewater, maintaining optimal contact between biofilm, oxygen, and nutrients, resulting in highly efficient treatment performance.
MBBR Media is widely applied in MBBR water treatment systems for municipal, industrial, and aquaculture applications.
Feature
- High Specific Surface Area: Special internal structure design provides maximum surface area for biofilm growth, improving biological treatment efficiency.
- Lightweight and Floating: With a density around 0.96 g/cm³, the media remain suspended in water and resist sedimentation or clogging.
- Self-Cleaning and Non-Clogging: Continuous movement and surface shear prevent excessive biofilm accumulation, ensuring stable reactor operation.
- Durable and Non-Toxic Material: Manufactured from 100% virgin HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), resistant to chemicals, aging, and UV exposure.
- Flexible to Load Variations: MBBR reactors automatically adapt to fluctuating inflow loads without operational adjustments.
- Low Energy and Space Saving: Compact reactor design reduces footprint and energy use compared to traditional activated sludge systems.
