bioFAS - LCM Brochure Brochure

Our bioFAS Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) system uses naturally occurring bacteria to remove nutrients from wastewater with a patented design that will enhance your level of treatment while making the process easier to manage. p Cost effective (Low lifecycle costs)p Simple to installp No extra space needed – can be retrofitted in existing basinsp Minimizes additional operating costsp Provides additional treatment capacity in existing tanksp Provides for advanced wastewater treatmentp Extremely reliable and robust processp Consistent environmental complianceOur unique bioFAS filter cord media produces exceptional results, the product of years of research in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. p In-house manufacturing and developmentp State-of-the-art manufacturing equipmentp Latest filtration designs customized for your needsp Superior performance consistently deliveredp bioprocessH2O makes filters and media in-housebioFAS™“Our old wastewater system couldn’t reliably meet local compliance regulations to treat nitrogen, causing continuous problems with state officials. We installed a bioprocessH2O system, and it got the regulators off our backs. Testing has shown an average nitrogen reduction of about 95 to 99 percent We are very pleased with the performance, and recommend your bioFas unit highly.”– Dennis Parenteau, maintenance manager for aTP Manufacturing, North smithfield, rhode islandBelow, left: a bioFas submerged installation for an international beverage manufacturer.

Using bioFAS, he same volume of wastewater can be treated with a smaller volume tank than in an extended air system.The Advantages of bioFASp No additional steps or tanks are needed to achieve a higher degree of treatment. Submerge bioFAS in your aeration tank. Or for smaller installations, add a high-rate trickle filter. Increase your biomass without needing to expand your facility.p Since the bacteria are fixed, and suspended in the water, clogging and sludge problems are greatly reduced. There is no need to recycle treated water to re-introduce bacteria. bioFAS is a one-way, optimally efficient process. p Since the bacteria are fixed, and stay in the tank for a long period, the best bacteria to process your particular waste stream will thrive by a process of natural selection. Even in a combined system that is periodically flushed by stormwater, the microbes are ready to go to work as soon as wastewater flows.p Our robust patented Engineered Composite Filter Media never need maintenance, replacement, or back-flushing, under reccommended operation.p Modular design makes it easy to expand.p Our expert staff and pilot systems deliver the right-size solution.Below, upper: a large-scale installation of bioFas cassettes.Below, lower: a close-up view of the membrane fibers attached to the bottom of the filter cassette.bioFAS – Smart, reliable, efficient, proven filtration.Media frame dimensions can be easily modified to fit new or existing system tanks. The media frames are supported by a stainless steel structure that bioprocessH2O provides. Media frames can be deployed in High-rate BioFilter (HrBF) systems or in submerged applications with aeration. if aeration is not already provided or not adequate, media frames can be delivered with diffusers to optimize aeration and mixing of wastewater through the media.bioFAS fl ow diagrambioFAS in action. i. increases biomass concentration ii. retrofit existing plants for nitrification iii.

Our looped-cord media uses cutting-edge materials that have been intensively tested in anaerobic, aerobic, and enriched-gas applications. On-site pilot tests determine the effectiveness of various filter media in particular waste streams. bioprocessH2O continues to advance the science of high-surface-area media application in collaboration with our research partners.
