MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) Bio Filter Media has emerged as a game-changer in the field of water treatment. Its effectiveness lies in the intricate mechanisms it employs to promote efficient and sustainable treatment processes.



Biofilm Formation: MBBR Bio Filter Media facilitates the formation of a biofilm on its surface. This biofilm acts as a colonization site for microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. The media's unique design provides ample surface area, promoting biofilm growth and allowing for the attachment and growth of a diverse microbial community.

Biological Degradation: The biofilm on the MBBR Bio Filter Media acts as a catalyst for biological degradation of organic matter and pollutants in the water. The microorganisms present in the biofilm utilize these contaminants as a source of nutrients, breaking them down into simpler, less harmful substances. This process significantly reduces the concentration of pollutants, ensuring cleaner water.

Oxygen Transfer: Adequate oxygen supply is crucial for the growth and metabolism of microorganisms involved in water treatment. MBBR Bio Filter Media optimizes oxygen transfer by allowing the diffusion of oxygen into the biofilm and ensuring sufficient contact between the microorganisms and the oxygen-rich environment. This promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria that thrive in oxygen-rich conditions and are essential for effective treatment.

Nitrification and Denitrification: MBBR Media supports the biological processes of nitrification and denitrification. Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate, while denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate into nitrogen gas, which is released into the atmosphere. The media's large surface area and biofilm structure provide a favorable environment for these bacteria, facilitating the removal of nitrogen compounds from the water.

Self-Cleaning and Maintenance: The continuous movement of MBBR Bio Filter Media within the reactor promotes self-cleaning and prevents clogging. The media's motion creates a scouring effect, dislodging excess biomass and preventing the accumulation of solids. This self-cleaning mechanism reduces the need for frequent maintenance and ensures consistent treatment performance.
