Bio Filtration

What is Bio Filtration?

A Bio Filter is a bed of organic material that filters contaminants from water and supports beneficial microbes that neutralize contaminants. The cleaned water is used by plants growing in the Bio Filter or flows out of the underdrain at the bottom of the filter bed.

Bio Filtration is a synthesis process that harnesses the organic matter, minerals, and other elements of the waste and converts them to bio-nutritional products like energy rich humus, plant nutrients and water. It involves removal of organic matter by adsorption and filtration followed by biological degradation and oxygen supply within the BioCarbon treatment media. 

Bio Filtration with BioCarbon is a natural way of recycling nutrients and removing toxins. Bio Filters can be designed to fit the size limitations of any site.

Applications

Bio Filters are used throughout the world and have many applications.  Anywhere contaminated, dirty, or cloudy water is present and needs to be cleaned according to permits, ordinances, or environmental concerns, BioCarbon Filtration can be implemented.  Below are examples of where the BioCarbon Filtration process can be used.

  • Storm Water Contamination 
  • Paved Surface Runoff 
  • Industrial Outfall Concerns
  • Commercial Carwash Runoff 
  • New Construction Permitting 
  • Wash Pads 
  • Agricultural Runoff
  • Oil & Gas Runoff and Storage
  • Environmental Remediation
