Hydrophilic Polyurethane MBBR Bio Media from China Suppliers - High Surface Area & Fast Biofilm Growth from Factory
Quality Materials for Safe and Durable Sponge HPU MBBR Media
1. Large Specific Surface Area
• Specific surface area up to 6000m2/m3 or more, which is several times that of HDPE filler.
• The huge specific surface area can provide enough space for microorganisms to attach, thereby enriching more bacteria.
2. Fast Bio Film Hanging Speed
• After the filler enters the water, the gel swells by absorbing water, and it only takes 3-7 days for the bacteria to grow biofilm on the surface.
• This greatly shortens the debugging cycle of the circulating aquaculture system, keeping the water quality stable and reliable.
3. Low Investment Cost
• Huge specific surface area, cast in the RAS system.
• The increase rate is less than 20% of the capacity of the biological filter, which is much lower than HDPE packing, saving investment costs by more than 40%.
When used in aerobic tank, we can use HPU MBBR media without Bio ball. It is good at fluidization, and because it is very light MBBR, it requires less power than other Media.
When used in Anaerobic tank, there is no gas in the tank, so the HPU media will easily float on the surface. It is better to use it with a bio ball. We can put one piece of vesuvianite together with 3 to 6 pcs of HPU MBBR in the bio ball to keep the ball in the middle of the water instead of floating.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the specific surface area of Sponge HPU MBBR Media?
The specific surface area of Sponge HPU MBBR Media reaches up to 6000m²/m³ or more, which is several times larger than traditional HDPE fillers, providing maximum space for bacterial attachment.
How fast does the biofilm grow on HPU MBBR media?
It takes only 3 to 7 days for the biofilm to grow on the media surface. The gel swells by absorbing water quickly after entering the tank, significantly shortening the system startup and debugging cycle.
Does HPU MBBR media help reduce aquaculture system costs?
Yes. Because of its massive specific surface area, the media volume required is less than 20% of the capacity of a standard biological filter, saving more than 40% in total investment costs compared to HDPE packing.
Do I need to use bio balls in aerobic tanks with HPU MBBR media?
No, bio balls are not required in aerobic tanks. HPU MBBR media is lightweight and fluidizes easily on its own, which also helps reduce energy and power consumption.
How do you prevent HPU media from floating in anaerobic tanks?
Since anaerobic tanks lack aeration gas to keep the media suspended, we recommend placing 3 to 6 pieces of HPU MBBR media along with one piece of vesuvianite inside a bio ball. This extra weight keeps the media suspended in the middle of the water instead of floating on the surface.
