Bio-cord

Model Number: WP-45-3 Key Specifications/Special Features: Specifications:It attracts microbes, which by nature have a slightly negative chargeIt also attracts the microbesWhat it is: It is a man-made bio-reactor, drain off management using microbe activity to prevent water pollution in oceans, rivers, lakes, & marshes. In appearance, Bio-cord is a simple cord covered with countless rings of thread, made of polymers such as polypropylene, vinylon, polyvinylidene-chloride, binylon or nylon-polyester. Its unique properties thus provide a symbiotic culture bed for a wide spectrum of microbesHow it works: When Bio-cord is manufactured, it leaves the factory with a slightly positive charge. Placed in water, it attracts microbes, which by nature have a slightly negative charge. The structure of the Bio-cord also attracts the microbes. Because of this, Bio-cord is the choice media for microorganisms to live & grow on. The microbes adhere to the threads & perform biodegradation. This is done in a three-step process including an anaerobic step for optimum solids removal (instantaneous breakdown)Features & benefits:

Does not require frequent cleaning due to the cords' ability to cast off accumulated solids via gravity while maintaining activity; resulting in water treatment that is more stable

A properly designed system is 100% environmentally friendly.

This system can be included in the design of new or retrofitted to existing recirculation systems; this flexibility allows for site specific applications

Increased amount of surface areas holds a large quantity of microorganisms per unit length compared to other bio-filter media; therefore less area is taken up by the bio-filter

Inexpensive to operate & maintain. A four million gallon unit requires only a total of 30-hp & 2 hours per day of attention to ensure operational parameters. Due to the high solids removal, settling ponds lagoons do not have to be cleaned out as often.

97% nitrogen & 98% solids removal with right chemistry.

By reducing the solids, you reduce the BOD (biological oxygen demand) therefore less oxygen is required, also lowers phosphorus & nitrogen levels

Other advantages include: reduced odor & make up flow is decreased

In fish applications it provides food for microbiological feeders as well as a substrate for eggs sacs (when deployed directly in the water column)

Effective in high sludge applications, up to 10% TSS (total suspended solids) such as fish farm settling ponds, hog lagoons

It is lightweight & void fraction is large therefore installation & maintenance is easy

Usage:

• Public filtering plants: Office buildings, schools, homes, towns & more
• Public institutions: Highway service areas, parks, surface water drainage ponds, landscaping/golf course ponds & more
