Fluidized Bed Biological Filters Fluidized Bed Bio-Filters have a long-established reputation as a small footprint/high surface area bio-filter. When space is limited, fluidized bed bio-filters should be considered. Emperor Aquatics, Inc.’s Fluidized Bed Filters use a 1 mm silica sand, or garnet, that offers a tremendous amount of surface area for colonizing "aerobic" bacteria. The Fluidized Bed Bio-filter is more efficient at TAN (total ammonia nitrogen) removal than packed column style bio-filters.

Fluidized Bed Biological Filter Advantages:

• Up-Flow Design allows solid particles to pass through the bed, rather than become trapped and potentially damage the system.
• Exclusive Emperor Aquatics Inc.’s "U" design, in combination with the inlet’s swing check valve, prevents the sand media bed from packing down inside the filter during start-up.
• Inlet Gate Valve allows precise media bed level adjustments.
• Durable Heavy-wall Plastic Construction.
• Optional Re-Air Tower.
• Optimal TAN (total ammonia nitrogen) Removal Rates.
• Easy to install and operate.
