The Benefits of Active Cell Media and its Applications
At CareWater Solutions, we offer a diverse range of Active Cell Media filtration media that cater to a wide spectrum of applications for biological treatment basins. Active Cell Media is designed with specialized scientific and practical features that increase the surface area of the filtration media, thereby enhancing the treatment efficiency and improving the quality of the treated water.
The spherical and cylindrical design of Active Cell Media facilitates the treatment process by accelerating the aerobic reaction. Additionally, its large void space design prevents clogging, unlike traditional filtration media.
The diversity of Active Cell Media designs makes it an ideal alternative to conventional filtration media, improving the performance of new wastewater treatment plants. It is also the optimal solution to overcome operational issues in existing activated sludge or extended aeration or trickling filter wastewater treatment plants.
Replacing all or part of the conventional filtration media with Active Cell Media in existing plants will help improve treatment efficiency and accommodate larger flows with minimal modifications.
The Benefits of Active Cell Media
Active Cell Media offers numerous advantages to meet the requirements of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, including:
- Lightweight

What is Active Cell Media 1000?
Active Cell Media 1000 is the smallest in size and has the highest surface area. It is the optimal choice when a huge surface area is the most important factor. Being made of high-density polyethylene, it remains suspended in the aeration tank water. The wide openings in the media allow wastewater to flow freely through it, helping to maintain a healthy bacterial surface.
Where can it be used?
The optimal use of Active Cell Media 1000 is in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants operating on the MBBR and IFAS systems, and 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
- Rural and tourist facilities
- Private residential communities
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Fish farming ponds
- Food and beverage industries
- Pulp and paper industries
Active Cell Media are considered an advanced filtration and purification technology. These media have unique characteristics that make them an ideal choice in many industrial and environmental applications. They have a high capacity for pollutant and impurity adsorption, as well as the ability to be regenerated and reused. They are also easy to operate and maintain compared to traditional filtration techniques. Thanks to these features, Active Cell Media have been utilized in a wide range of applications, including water and air treatment, chemical separation, and bio applications. In the following articles, we will highlight the key advantages of the different types of this technology and the prominent applications where they are used.
