BioFAS - B-460 MBBR Biomass Carriers Datasheet

45 High Point Avenue A Clarcor Joint Venture Portsmouth, RI 02871 401-683-5400 www.bioprocessh2o.com BioFAS™ MBBR Biomass Carriers Valuing Water™ Model Number: bioFAS™ B-460 The bioFAS™ B-402 MBBR media is for application in moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) systems for the provision of a self-sloughing, auto-regulating attached growth biofilm treatment process. The carriers can be used for a single pass MBBR treatment process or in increase the effective capacity of existing activated sludge systems as an Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) process. Process Applications include: ? BOD Reduction ? Nitrification of Ammonia ? Denitrification The biofilm carriers can be loaded into complete mixed bioreactors at a minimum fill ratio of 25% v/v to the overall working volume of the tank. Future expansion of bioFAS MBBR capacity can be achieved by addition biomass carriers up to 75% v/v and increasing the air supply. The bioFAS™ B-460 Biofilm Carriers are supplied in 1 m3 super sacks and shipped on pallets for ease of transportation. The carriers can be loaded into basins and tanks via a fork truck or a crane. bioFAS™ B-460 Biomass Carriers SI Units US Units Nominal Diameter 20.5 mm 0.81 inches Nominal Length 15.75 mm 0.625 inches Specific Gravity 0.96 – 0.97 Internal Protected Surface Area 402 m2/m3 122 ft2/ft3 Active Surface Area 460 m2/m3 139 ft2/ft3 Nominal Weight 289 lbs/m3 8.2 lbs/ft3 Materials of Construction High denisty polyethylene
