MBBR Media
(K1 – K5)

HDPE moving-bed biofilm media in K1–K5 types for biological wastewater treatment — Φ10–25mm, high protected surface area (>800–1000 m²/m³), high porosity (>85–90%) and fast biofilm formation, for efficient nitrification and organic removal.

Why this media

High surface,
fast biofilm

The open moving-bed carrier keeps a large protected surface for biofilm, so biological treatment stays active and stable while the media circulate in the reactor.

01

High protected surface

Open-carrier K1–K5 design gives a large protected surface for biofilm while protecting it from wear.

02

Efficient nitrification

With 3–15 day film formation, nitrification 400–1200 gN/m³·d and BOD/COD oxidation 2000–15000 g/m³·d, the media reduce footprint and increase capacity.

03

Durable HDPE

HDPE resists wear and chemical attack; long service life >15 years and a suggested dosing rate of 15–67%.

Product details

Technical core & performance

MBBR media are an active biological suspended carrier. A scientific recipe blends trace elements that favour rapid microbial attachment into the polymer matrix, modified by a special process — giving large specific surface area, good hydrophilicity, good mobility, high biological activity, easy film formation and a long service life.

  1. Fluid-dynamics-designed geometry strengthens surface attachment; the large carrier surface supports a high biomass concentration and strong treatment capacity.
  2. No support frame needed — easy to fluidize and energy-saving; raising the dosing rate increases capacity and treatment without new structures, saving 1/2–3/4 of the footprint.
  3. External film renews fast and stays active while the internal film is well protected, so micro-organisms grow well — higher degradation efficiency than traditional external-growth media.
  4. The special structure lets bubbles and pollutants pass freely through the carrier, increasing biofilm contact with oxygen and pollutants and greatly improving mass transfer and biological activity.
  5. Long microbial community life and a rich species profile suit nitrifiers, with both aerobic and anaerobic zones — clear nitrification and denitrification.
  6. Appropriate density (0.97–0.98 before film, ~1 after film) keeps the media floating when air is off and fully fluidized when aerated, minimizing energy; free rotation cuts and breaks large bubbles, raising oxygen utilization by 10%+ and lowering aeration energy.

Engineering advantages: efficient carbon removal and superior nitrogen removal. The carrier gives a safe environment for dominant bacteria and a longer sludge age, raising nitrifier concentration, while the high biological concentration damps inlet fluctuations and improves impact-load resistance. In a comparative trial treating septic-tank water (inlet COD 150–200 mg/L, NH₃-N 100–130 mg/L) with the same effective tank volume and no sludge return, two suspended-carrier systems dosed at 40% outperformed an activated-sludge process and also fixed-bed (D25 honeycomb), contact-oxidation (p150 combined) and moving-bed (q25 multi-faceted hollow ball) carriers dosed at 70% — showing higher carbon and nitrogen removal at a lower dosing rate. The biofilm process needs only adding media dosing to the existing tank — no new tank, saving significantly on footprint.
