Bio-Plas Fluidize Media

Description

Bio-Plas Fluidize Filtration Media

Moving bed media has many advantages over traditional static bed filters including a huge surface area which is always exposed to maximum oxygen and food for the bacteria, self cleaning media as it tumbles, and protected surface area, enabling bacteria and higher organisms to dwell in their preferred location inside the media, exposed to oxygen and food, but safe from harmful cleaning practices.

Bio-Plas Fluidize moves within the filter and causes old dead bacteria on the outside of the structure to be displaced, leaving space for new younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonise.

Maturing the Bio-Plas Fluidize bio is important because a delicate Eco-system is naturally developing for the bacteria involved in the nitrification process. Bio-Plas Fluidize provides the maximum active surface area for the bacteria to colonise, more than other types of static media. It is this process which removes harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water.

Filter maintenance time can be reduced by using Bio-Plas Fluidize, designed to freely move in a filter, this movement causes the media to self clean as it turns unlike foam and static filter media that require removing and cleaning. This self cleaning process allows the filter to be effective without the disturbance caused by regular cleaning as it avoids the unnecessary loss of vital bacteria.
