Bio Cavity Media for MBBR

Bio Cavity Media are high-surface-area carrier media designed for high-rate IFAS (Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge) reactors and MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) systems. Their unique pore structure and self-cleaning properties promote efficient biological treatment, enhanced biodegradation, and clog-resistant operation.

Following pre-treatment, wastewater flows into the Bio Cavity Media Reactor (BCMR), which is equipped with an SS 304 stainless steel retention screen and a diffused aeration system to support effective aeration and biological treatment. The system offers a compact footprint, low mixing requirements, and reduced energy consumption, making it suitable for both new wastewater treatment plants and the upgrading of existing facilities.
