Arofanatics Fish Talk Forums - Introduction to Mutag BioChip (Latest MBBR in Singapore!!)

Dear Bros and Sis,

WFA Filtration is excited and proud to introduce Mutag Biochip™ to all local hobbyist and friends! WFA Filtration is proud to be the sole distributor of Mutag Biochip™ for Singapore and we would like to take this opportunity to share more about this latest Made In Germany Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR).

Here's a brief introduction to Mutag Biochip™:

Mutag Biochip™ was developed by company Multi Umwelttechnologie AG who's staff has more than 15 years of profound experience with nearly each type of Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) carrier media available on the global market.

A quick summary of the benefits at once glace of the Mutag BioChip™ :

Best performance in ammonia and nitrite removal - proven and scientifically tested!

Old dead bacteria are constantly replaced by young heavy feeding bacteria.

Protective Surface Area of 3000m2 - highest among all biocarrier!

Small footprint - greatly reduce space required

Less maintenance due to self-cleaning by shear force, never clogging!

High Durability - High quality material that prevent abrasion!

Extremely low energy consumption

Increase oxygen content in the water

100% safe to use, BPA-free, no carcinogens leaching.

Major benefits:

High removal rate:
The Mutag BioChip™ has a protected active surface area of 3,000 m²/m³, which has been
scientifically certified, whereas the most competing products provide only between 500 and 800
m²/m³ as per the statements of the respective suppliers. Taking into consideration only this
particular point, the removal performance of the Mutag BioChip™ is correspondingly higher per
m³ of carrier media.
To increase the removal performance: the biofilms which establish inside the pores are kept very
thin due to self-cleaning by shear forces which work on the outer side of the carrier (resulting
from the carrier’s movement in the wastewater) whereas, with regard to the diffusion depth of
biofilms, thin biofilms are essential for an optimal substrate and oxygen transfer from the water
to the microorganisms.

No clogging:
The Mutag BioChip™ has a very fine and detailed pore system which provides the large surface
area of 3,000 m²/m³. In fact, the biofilms is establish inside the pores.
Inside the pore system, the biofilms are protected from any mechanical influence, for example
resulting from shear forces. Clogging shall mean the unintended and uncontrolled growth of
microorganisms as it can be observed with many conventional tube-shaped carriers, particularly
in wastewater with high loads of readily biodegradable COD. The Mutag BioChip™ is prevented
from clogging due to its specific shape and motion characteristics: The movement of the carrier
elements in the wastewater creates shear forces at the outside of the Mutag BioChip™ carriers,
which permanently abrade the biomass growing out of the pores. Consequently, the biofilms are
permanently thin and the optimal transfer of substrate, nutrients and oxygen from the
wastewater to all biofilm layers is ensured.

Energy savings potential:
The special shape and specific gravity of the colonized Mutag BioChip™ provide particular
motion characteristics which require less agitation energy in the form of process air supply in
order to keep the carrier suspended in the water.

Abrasion and wear:
One single element of the Mutag BioChip™ media has a very low mass compared to its size.
Consequently, the impulse transferred in the case of contact with another carrier element is that
insignificant that each kind of abrasion and wear is maximally reduced.
