Biological filter media for MMBRs
In moving bed biofilm reactors the buoyant media is free to move within an aerated reaction chamber. The MBBR integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) is essentially an activated sludge suspended growth process but with the biomass fixed to the media.

In moving bed biofilm reactors the buoyant media is free to move within an aerated reaction chamber.
The MBBR integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) is essentially an activated sludge suspended growth process but with the biomass fixed to the media. It can perform all the same process variations such as nitrification, denitrification and biological phosphorus removal but with a higher biomass concentration which means higher organic loadings and smaller footprint.
Media can be easily retrofitted into existing activated sludge plants for flow and load uprates.
Small sized media with high surface area such as Biopebble, Biopipe 600, Biopipe+, Biotag, and Bioflo+, available in polypropylene or high density polyethylene, have a proven MBBR track record.
