Active Cell Media 850 and its Applications
Active Cell Media 850 is a type of filter media used in MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) technology. It has several advantages that have led to its widespread use in a number of important applications.
What distinguishes Active Cell Media 850
Its design is characterized by external and internal undulations and wide openings. This makes it an excellent medium for the growth of wastewater treatment bacteria. Active Cell Media 850 provides a protected surface area of 850 m2/m3, which significantly helps to reduce the size of the aeration tanks in wastewater treatment plants operating on the MBBR and IFAS (Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge) systems.
Active Cell Media 850 eliminates the operational problems associated with the clogging of traditional filter media, as it has large openings and a high void ratio.
Advantages
Active Cell Media 850 offers several advantages to meet the requirements of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, including:
- Lightweight
- High void ratio
- High effective surface area
- Durable for a long life
- Minimal clogging
- High acid resistance
- High BOD and nitrification removal
- Easy installation and operation
Applications of Active Cell Media 850
The optimal use of Active Cell Media 850 is in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants operating on the IFAS or MBBR systems.
It can also be used to upgrade existing activated sludge and extended aeration plants.
It is also suitable for treating wastewater from:
- Agricultural villages and remote areas
- Villages and tourist facilities
- Private residential communities
- Sewage treatment plants
- Fish farming ponds
- Food and beverage industries
- Pulp and paper industries

Despite the similarity in the advantages of all types of Active Cell Media, when using Active Cell Media for wastewater treatment using the MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) technology, there are several factors that determine the selection of the appropriate type and size:
- Surface area
- Operating costs
- Type of pollutants in the wastewater
- Organic loading rate
- Required reaction volume
- Flow rate in the MBBR system
- Oxygen requirements
Ultimately, the conditions and requirements of wastewater treatment using the MBBR technology must be evaluated to determine the optimal type and size of Active Cell Media. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that the institution providing the water treatment materials is selected, as this is of vital importance to the success of water treatment applications.
These materials are the backbone of any treatment system and greatly affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the treatment process.
Therefore, some important points should be considered when choosing the right company:
- First, the reputation and experience of the institution in the field of water treatment are among the most important factors. Companies with an impressive track record and long experience in this field will have a deeper understanding of the needs of different projects and a greater ability to provide the most appropriate solutions.
- The history of success in previous projects also provides a guarantee of the quality of products and services.
- Second, the scope of products and services provided by the company. A company that can provide a complete range of high-quality treatment materials at competitive prices will be the best choice. It should also be ensured that technical support and maintenance can be obtained when needed.
- Finally, ensuring the quality of products and their compliance with relevant standards and specifications. The use of low-quality materials may lead to a decrease in treatment efficiency and an increase in long-term costs.
In summary, the selection of the appropriate institution to provide water treatment materials is critical to ensuring the success of any water treatment project, and this aspect should be given the necessary importance during the planning and design phase.
