BioFoam “Moving-Bed” Biofilter Operation
Water from the livestock tank is continuously circulated
inside the BioFoam Filter. An independent pump recirculates
water inside the BioFoam reactor using an air venturi
manifold. The oxygenated water suspends/ tumbles the
media, providing an optimal environment for colonizing
nitrifying bacteria.
The oxygen-rich water inside the BioFoam
reactor contains micro-fine air bubbles that travel
upward through the reactor, accumulating both small
particles as well as dissolved organic waste on their
bubble walls. These tiny micro-fine air bubbles not
only help to suspend and move the media bed, but it
also increases dissolved oxygen and ultimately collimate
into dense foam at the top of the filter. This waste-laden
foam climbs up and out of the waste tube, ultimately
separating from the system’s water. This filter
offers continuous biofiltration, dissolved organic waste
separation, and increased dissolved oxygen levels. |
