MBBR Biochip Media

The supplier states more than 5,500 m²/m³ of protected surface area — note that the product option labels on this page read 5,000 m²/m³, so confirm the figure with us before you design to it.

Biofilm growing inside the pore structure is shielded from the shear of a moving bed, so it stays put and keeps nitrifying instead of being scoured off.

C1 gives 1,000 m²/m³ and C3 600 m²/m³, so biochip carries several times the area in the same bed volume and lets you build a much smaller reactor.

Divide the protected surface area your daily ammonia (TAN) load needs by 5,500 m²/m³ to get the bed volume — send us your feed rate and water temperature and we will confirm it.

The supplier does not publish a nitrification rate, and a rate without a temperature and TAN concentration is not usable — we size it from your feed load instead.

Yes — it is used the same way as any MBBR carrier and is a common way to lift the ammonia capacity of a reactor without enlarging it.

100 L boxes for top-ups and smaller beds, or 1 m³ (1000 L) bulk bags for filling a reactor in one go.
