Moving Bed Biofilters

IAS’s Moving Bed Biofilters deliver advanced biofiltration technology for efficient ammonia and nitrogen removal in aquaculture systems. High-surface-area, medium-density biological media provide optimal mixing and consistent performance, while configurable inlet/outlet fittings and an integrated aeration manifold ensure effective water flow and oxygen distribution. Constructed from UV-resistant, high-density polyethylene vessels and paired with a carefully selected air pump, these biofilters offer durable, long-lasting operation in any environment.

  • Efficiently Removes Ammonia and Nitrogen compounds to maintain healthy aquatic systems.

  • High-Surface-Area Media ensures optimal biological activity and superior water quality.

  • Medium-Density Media promotes excellent mixing and prevents clogging or channeling.

  • Configurable Inlet/Outlet Fittings provide flexible installation for any system layout.

  • Integrated Aeration Manifold and supplied air pump enhance oxygen distribution and biofilter performance.

  • Durable UV-Resistant polyethylene vessels ensure long-lasting operation in harsh aquatic environments.

Biomedia

BioElement Biomedia

IAS BioElement Biomedia provides efficient biological filtration for recirculating aquatic systems, supporting optimal water quality and system stability. Widely used in some of the world’s largest and most advanced aquaculture operations, it delivers reliable performance across both small- and large-scale applications. IAS offers expert guidance to help size and select BioElements for your specific system, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

  • High Usable Surface Area at 750m2/m3 (228 ft2/ft3) IAS BioElements have very high specific surface area per unit volume.

  • Form Stable with advanced engineered, injection molded media that will not clog, compress, wedge or bind together.

  • Ideal Density available in 3 densities for 3 types of biological filtration formats.  Light (0.93 g/cm3) is suited for up-flow style filters, medium density (1.00 g/cm3) designed specifically for moving bed biofilters, and heavy (1.2 g/cm3) used primarily in down-flow fixed bed filters.

  • Packaging Options available in several different formats to suit any scale project.

BioE Biofilters Logo

BioE Biofilters from Integrated-Aqua represent the latest advances in biofiltration technology for aquaculture and are offered in a complete product line with standard HDPE models ranging from 23” diameter to 103” diameter.

  • EXCELLENT WATER QUALITY PERFORMANCE
    over a broad range of ammonia loading scenarios. IAS will provide biofiltration calculations to determine sizing for optimal water quality.

  • NO “CRASHING”
    or loss of bacterial colonies during short loss of flow events like fluidized biofilters.

  • OXYGENATED WATER OUTLET
    BioE Biofilters include aeration which allows effluent water to be oxygenated at the filter outlet return to the tanks.

  • LOW HEAD EFFICIENT OPERATION
    saves money in operational costs for pumping energy used

IAS will assist with sizing and selecting the biofilter specific to the project and can be built on-site with a detailed set of engineering plans.
