Description
Kaldnes Moving Bed process has been scientifically tested and widely used in fish farming and wastewater treatment for years. The bio-media is designed in a wheel shape and is slightly positively buoyant. This allows water to circulate freely within the vessel, which is facilitated by your air pump, air stones, or diffuser.
Maturing Kaldnes media is essential, as it helps create a delicate ecosystem that supports the bacteria involved in the nitrification process. Kaldnes media provides more active surface area for bacteria colonization compared to other types of static media. This biological process effectively removes harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water.
Advantages of Kadlnes Media:
Kaldnes K1 bio filter media has significant advantages over traditional static bed filters. With its large surface area, it remains exposed to maximum oxygen and bacteria food sources. The self-cleaning feature of Kaldnes media ensures it constantly rolls inside the filter, minimizing the need for maintenance. The media’s surface protects the bacteria and other life forms, ensuring they are positioned where they have access to oxygen and food while avoiding harmful cleaning processes. As the media moves, old, dead bacteria are displaced, making space for new, more efficient bacteria to colonize, which helps maintain the nitrification cycle.
Self-Cleaning Mechanism:
Kaldnes filter media features a self-cleaning function due to its constant movement within the filter. This prevents the buildup of dead bacteria and allows space for new bacteria, enhancing the nitrification process. Unlike static media such as foam or matting, Kaldnes K1 and K3 media can move freely, requiring little to no maintenance. This self-cleaning ability ensures that the filter operates at optimum efficiency without disrupting the biological process.
Benefits of k1 k3 kaldnes media:
Kaldnes K1 kaldnes media offers superior protection for both young and mature bacterial colonies. It provides the ideal habitat for the bacteria to thrive and support a healthy ecosystem. This design ensures optimal performance in aquaculture, hydroponics, and water treatment applications, where maintaining a balanced and thriving ecosystem is crucial.
- 1 cubic foot of Kaldnes K1 bio filter media is perfect for Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) filtration and water purification.
- The media’s self-cleaning action requires minimal maintenance, and many users report no need for maintenance at all.
- Kaldnes filter media is made from virgin polyethylene, ensuring it is free from contaminants and safe for aquatic life.
- K1 Kaldnes media can handle up to 250 grams of food per day, while K3 Kaldnes media can process 225 grams. K3 is designed specifically for retrofitting existing filters, with a slightly larger size that makes it easier to configure and control.
