Characteristics of MBBR biofilter media

May 10, 2025

1. High specific surface area
MBBR biofilter media has a large specific surface area, which provides sufficient attachment space for microorganisms. Usually, its specific surface area can reach hundreds to thousands of square meters per cubic meter, which can enable a large number of microorganisms to grow and reproduce on the surface of the filler to form a stable biofilm.

 

2. Good fluidization performance
The density of the filler is close to that of water. Under the action of aeration or water flow, it can be evenly fluidized in the water body and suspended. This means that it can fully contact with sewage, allowing pollutants in sewage to exchange substances with microorganisms efficiently. For example, in the MBBR process of industrial wastewater treatment, the fluidized filler can quickly adsorb and decompose organic pollutants in wastewater, significantly enhancing the water purification effect.

 

3. Good bioaffinity
MBBR biofilter media has good affinity for microorganisms and is easy for microorganisms to attach and grow. Its material and surface structure are conducive to the fixation of microorganisms and can provide a suitable living environment for microorganisms. In actual operation, the inoculated microorganisms can quickly colonize on the surface of the filler to form a mature biofilm system, effectively degrading various pollutants in the sewage, whether it is organic carbon sources, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, or some difficult-to-degrade compounds.

4. High mechanical strength
It has sufficient mechanical strength to resist the friction and impact caused by water flow, aeration, and microbial metabolic activities during the long-term fluidization process, and is not easy to break. This ensures the service life of the filler and reduces the cost and operational trouble caused by frequent replacement of fillers. In some sewage treatment facilities that have been in continuous operation for many years, MBBR biofilter media still maintains a good physical form and continues to perform purification functions stably.

 

5. Chemical corrosion resistance
It can withstand the erosion of a variety of chemical substances and remain stable in sewage environments with different pH values ​​and different chemical pollutants. Whether it is highly acidic industrial wastewater or alkaline municipal sewage, it will not cause obvious chemical damage to the filler, ensuring the reliable operation of the MBBR process under complex water conditions.
