Ideal biological filter media opening bio ball

Trade Details of bio ball

Typical Application of bio ball

1: Water tank filtration

Opening Pore bio ball is essential for the growth of beneficial bacteria in your tank. They come with small holes and ridges, which allow the beneficial bacteria to grow in them.

2: Used in biochemical filtration systems in seawater, but also in biochemical filtration systems in freshwater, perfect for using as fish tank filter, aquarium filter and pond filter media.

Feature of bio ball

1: With a unique structure, it creates an enormous space for bacteria colonization which is many times larger when compared to traditional bio-ball.

2: Helps in distributing smooth water flow through the filter.

3: Compact in size to fit small filter or any other filtration system. Works with both marine and freshwater tank.

4: Leads the water flow through a longer traveling distance within the Compact Bio Ball to more effectively decompose toxic ammonia and nitrite through biological filtration.

5: Provides an excellent biological filtration ability to assure the best water quality.

Bioball is a commonly used packing material in water treatment systems, particularly in biological filtration and wastewater treatment applications. Here are some key details on the use of Bioball for water treatment:

Biological Filtration:
Bioball is widely used as a packing material in trickling filters, rotating biological contactors (RBCs), and moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs).
In these systems, the Bioball provides a large surface area for the growth and attachment of beneficial microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, that can degrade organic matter, remove nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus), and break down other pollutants.
Wastewater Treatment:
Bioball is employed in various biological wastewater treatment processes, including activated sludge systems, sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), and membrane bioreactors (MBRs).
The porous structure and high surface area of Bioball promote the growth and retention of the microbial biomass responsible for the biodegradation of organic compounds, nitrification, and other treatment processes.
Nutrient Removal:
Bioball supports the development of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, which are essential for the removal of nitrogen compounds (ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) from wastewater.
The high surface area and porous structure of Bioball provide an ideal environment for these specialized microorganisms to thrive and effectively remove nutrients.
Oxygen Transfer:
The movement and agitation of the Bioball within the water or wastewater treatment system can enhance oxygen transfer, providing the necessary aeration for the aerobic microbial processes.
This improved aeration can lead to more efficient organic matter and nutrient removal.
Bioremediation Applications:
Bioball can be used in bioremediation systems, such as for the treatment of contaminated groundwater or soil, by providing a support medium for the growth of specialized microorganisms that can degrade or transform the target pollutants.

Bioball is commonly used in aquaculture systems and aquarium filters to provide a large surface area for the growth of nitrifying bacteria, which are essential for the conversion of ammonia and nitrites to less toxic nitrates.
