Biofilter Suppliers for RAS — Buyer's Knowledge Page

The biofilter is the nitrifying heart of a RAS. Under-size it and biology destabilises; over-size it and CAPEX and pumping energy skyrocket. Buyer's job: define TAN removal rate needed (from mass-balance) and let vendors propose media and geometry.

Applicazioni tipiche

  • Fresh, brackish and full-salinity RAS
  • Nursery, grow-out, broodstock loops
  • Post-smolt salmon and marine finfish

Dimensioni progetto

  • Small: 10–50 kg TAN/day removal
  • Mid: 50–500 kg TAN/day
  • Large: 500–5,000+ kg TAN/day

Criteri di selezione

  • Guaranteed volumetric TAN removal at your temperature and salinity
  • Media specific surface area (m²/m³) and clogging behaviour
  • Hydraulic residence time and back-mixing
  • Head loss and pumping energy
  • Start-up curve and inoculation protocol

Domande da porre

  • What is guaranteed VTR (g TAN / m³ media / day) at 15°C / 20°C / 25°C?
  • What is the biofilter's contribution to total specific energy?
  • How is media replaced and how often?

Errori comuni di procurement

  • Trusting media catalog VTR without temperature correction
  • Ignoring salinity effects on nitrification kinetics
  • Under-sizing degassing after the biofilter

Raccomandazioni RFQ

  • Tender against a required TAN removal load, not a media type
  • Ask for kinetic model and CFD if project is large
