MBBR Bio-Chip for Effective Biological Water Treatment – Top China Suppliers and Factory

Choosing the right biofilm carrier is crucial for the effectiveness of your MBBR system, and a key factor in this decision is the active surface area. This metric is an excellent indicator of the biodegradation performance of the carrier media. It is essential to specify biodegradation performance in terms of kg [pollutant] per m³ [carrier media] per day. This specification facilitates the calculation of the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), or nitrogen load that needs to be removed. By using this method, you can accurately determine the necessary quantity of carrier media and the associated costs related to daily biodegradation efficiency, When it comes to the design and shape of the carrier media, the type and density of the material are vital for the successful implementation of your MBBR system. Plastic carriers available from China suppliers are typically made from virgin polyethylene (PE) or more cost-effective re-granulates, which are recycled materials. Choosing the right factory to source your carrier media is key to ensuring high-quality and efficient biodegradation in your wastewater treatment processes

    Re-granulates

    By their nature, being recycled material, re-granulates contain percentages of different plastics. This can negatively impact the durability of the media and these deficiencies are magnified under operating conditions. The importance of consistent material density cannot be understated, any deficiencies can lead to poor carrier movement characteristics. To account for these inconsistencies manufactures of re-granulate based carrier media often use plasticizers. Plasticizers combined with the re-granulates can release bisphenol A and phthalates which can cause cancer and other hormonal effects. This can be especially problematic for aquaculture and similar industries.

    Virgin polyethylene

    Our MBBR BioChip biofilm carrier is completely free from any phthalates or other plasticizers and does not contain bisphenol A or any other aromatic compounds. It is made of virgin polyethylene (no recycled PE), inorganic fillers, small amounts of monoester of glyceric acid (made from coconut fat; absolutely harmless), citric acid and soda (Na2CO3).
    Stability, wear resistance.
    The next consideration is the choice between a dimensionally stable molded (PE or PP) extruded carrier or a mechanically stressable (i.e. flexible) material. Dimensionally stable carriers often possess the disadvantage of breaking even at small mechanical stress levels. Furthermore, they get increasingly abraded which is due to their stiffness being stressed by kinetic energy within the MBBR. Fractures at the bridges of the carriers are hence not unusual as shown below.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the risks of using re-granulate based carrier media?

    Re-granulates contain varying percentages of different plastics, which can negatively affect the media's durability and carrier movement. To mask these deficiencies, manufacturers often use plasticizers that can release harmful chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, causing cancer and hormonal issues, especially in aquaculture.

    What materials are used in your MBBR BioChip biofilm carrier?

    Our MBBR BioChip is made of virgin polyethylene, inorganic fillers, and small, harmless amounts of monoester of glyceric acid (made from coconut fat), citric acid, and soda (Na2CO3). It is entirely free of phthalates, plasticizers, bisphenol A, and other aromatic compounds.

    Why is a mechanically stressable flexible material better than a dimensionally stable one?

    Dimensionally stable (stiff) carriers are highly prone to breaking even under low mechanical stress and suffer from accelerated abrasion due to kinetic energy inside the MBBR. Flexible materials can withstand physical stress without structural fractures.

    What is the active protected surface area of the biofilm carrier?

    The active protected surface area of the carrier is greater than 5,500 m²/m³, which is highly efficient for COD/BOD removal, nitrification, denitrification, and the ANAMMOX process.

    How is the product packaged and loaded for shipping?

    The carriers are packaged in small bags, with each bag containing 0.1m³. For shipping container loading, a 20ft standard sea freight container holds 30 m³, while a 40HQ standard sea freight container can hold up to 70 m³.
