MBBR Biochip X30 was developed and manufactured in Germany since 2008 is guaranteed as a product made from experience. The MBBR Biochip X30 is manufactured of mainly PE or recycled materials. MBBR Biochip X30 is specially designed with high-quality pore system, thickness of only 1.1mm and light-weight to optimize its efficiency by providing higher removal rates and more reliable process stability. The active surface area of >5,500 m²/m³ of MBBR Biochip X30 has been scientifically certified and this provides an upper hand as compared to a range of 500 m²/m³ - 800 m²/m³ offered by competitive solutions. It is assured to provide high removal rates and reliable process stability. Other than that the active surface area, it has advantages of self-cleaning, long-life abrasion resistant, and also cost saving as compared to conventional media carrier. Due to these properties, the MBBR Biochip X30 are currently widely applied in treatment systems such as COD/BOD Degradation, Nitrification, Denitrification, ANAMMOX processes.

High removal performance due to specific carrier characteristics:

MBBR Biochip X30 with a protected active surface area of more than 5,500 m²/m³ has a removal performance of 10 times higher per m³ when compare to other carrier media. The biofilms which establish inside the pores are kept very thin due to self-cleaning by shear forces which work on the outer side of the carrier (resulting from the carrier’s movement in the wastewater) whereas, the diffusion depth of biofilms, thin biofilms are essential for an optimal substrate and oxygen transfer from the water to the microorganisms.

Cost saving

The high biodegradation performance of the MBBR Biochip X30 carrier with large active surface area of more than 5,500 m²/m³ allows for using less carrier volume than with “conventional” carriers since there is less MBBR Biochip X30 volume required for providing the similar protected active surface area. Customers can save money due to smaller tank volumes, and it is a crucial feature when there is only limited space available when building a new WWTP. Besides, when less carrier volume required means less transport volumes in shipment at similarly large surface area thus the transport cost will therefore become low.

Long life abrasion resistant material

One single element of the MBBR Biochip X30 media has a very low mass compared to its size. Due to low kinetic energy, the impulse transferred in the case of contact with another carrier element or the tank walls are that insignificant that each kind of abrasion and wear is maximally reduced. The paraboloid design also allows optimal movement. Contrary to that, it is not a rarely occurring phenomenon that several tubular carrier types (often injection-molded and heavy related to their size) break after a certain time in operation.

Self-cleaning and non-clogging

Clogging shall mean the unintended and uncontrolled growth of microorganisms as it can be observed with many conventional tube-shaped carriers, particularly in wastewater with high loads of readily biodegradable COD. The movement of the carrier elements in the wastewater creates shear forces at the outside of the MBBR Biochip X30 carriers, which permanently abrade the biomass growing out of the pores preventing it from clogging. Consequently, the biofilms are permanently thin and the optimal transfer of substrate, nutrients and oxygen from the wastewater to all biofilm layers is ensured. Clogged carrier elements (please refer to the picture below) are characterized by thick biofilms which do not allow for the deeper biofilm layers being supplied with substrate, nutrients and oxygen. Consequently, these deeper layers are not at all or only hardly biologically active, whereas the thick biofilms reduce the surface area purposed for the attachment of active microorganisms, resulting in a decrease in biodegradation capacity.
