MBBR media, engineered for consistent biological treatment.

Precision-moulded HDPE and PP biofilm carriers that maximise protected surface area, accelerate BOD, COD and ammonia removal, and retrofit straight into the aeration tank you already have.

What we make

Three carrier profiles, one standard of manufacture

From high-rate BOD reduction to compact nitrification retrofits — matched to the hydraulic and loading conditions of your plant.

Why MBBR

More biomass, in the tank you already have

Because biomass lives inside a protected, high-surface-area carrier rather than in free-floating flocs, MBBR systems sustain a denser, hardier population of treatment bacteria — with a simpler process to operate.

  • Higher biomass density per unit volume — treat more load in the same tank
  • Constant gentle motion sloughs excess biofilm, so carriers self-clean
  • Attached biofilm recovers faster than sludge after shock loads
  • No sludge recycle pumps, no media replacement cycle, less sludge to handle
