Fluidized Bed Biofiltration media

Buy or view price | biofiltration home

parameter value
diameter 8mm
depth 6mm
surface area ( approx.) 800 square meters/cubic meter
specific gravity 0.95
material polyethylene
air flowrate per cubm of media 10 cubm/hr
water flowrate per cubm of media 20 to 40 cubm/hr
biomass loading per cubm of media 250 to 500 kg
ammonium loading per cubic metre of media 0.5 to 1 kg of ammonium per day
Organic loading ( feed level given to fish) per cubm of media 20 to 40 kg feed/day
BOD loading (approx) 20 kg/cubm/day

With regards to the water flowrate and biomass loading,  there is  degree of variation with regards to these values.  The feed level given relates to the amount of fish feed given to the fish each day.  The value also assumes that the feed is not wasted, and that there is good mechanical water filtration in the system.

In addition to the media, Dryden Aqua can provide a complete biofiltration system comprising f the the biofilter tank  and aeration equipment.  The biofilter are constructed from rotationally molded tanks and are available is sizes up to 40 cubic metres capacity..
