Biofilter media High surface area 1200 M2/M3 is a new biological suspension carrier which modified polymeric material with the promoted addition of bio-enzyme, adaptable for all kinds of microorganism to grow and reproduce rapidly to dissolve organics in the water.
It processes excellences of a large specific surface, being easy to multiply biofilm, unease to fall off, high denitrification, good hydrophile, high biological activity, and so on.
5 Media provides the maximum active surface area for the bacteria to colonize, more than other types of static media. It is this process that removes harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water. How it is different from other media As the K5 Media moves within the filter, it causes the old dead bacteria on the outside to be displaced. This makes space for new younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonize. Within the wheel is a protected surface that enables colonies of bacteria to naturally follow their life cycle, of maturing, dying, and then fueling the latter stages of the nitrification cycle. K5 Media has been designed to provide the best possible habitat for both young and mature beneficial bacterial colonies. What is meant by ‘self-cleaning’ Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media, the K5 Media is designed to move freely within your filter? The constant chaotic movement of the air from your pump causes the media to self-clean and thus requires no maintenance. This allows the filter to reach optimum effectiveness without the disturbance of periodic cleaning, avoiding unnecessary loss of bacteria within the filter. 50 Litres of K5 media will handle up to 250 grams of food per day.
It is widely used in the MBBR sewage treatment biofilter, aquaculture farms, Koi Filter Media, etc…
