Kplus Advanced Filter Media 25Litre

New advanced filtration media
After extensive research, a new media has been developed to address this issue while providing class-leading surface area for enhanced biological and mechanical filtration.
During production, K+Media is infused with minerals and enzymes, resulting in a filtration media that outperforms competitors by offering a large protected surface area while significantly reducing the time required for biofilm establishment.
During production, a variety of minerals, including magnesium, calcium, enzymes, and salt, are mixed into the raw material for K+Media manufacturing. This results in K+Media maturing much faster than many other types of media. The minerals create a rough surface on the media, featuring a microscopic honeycomb of peaks and craters that allow waste particles to collect and nitrifying bacteria to thrive. Serving as a food source, the minerals promote the development and multiplication of bacteria, thus improving development times. Calcium has proven advantages for establishing and maintaining effective biofilms. Enzymes are also added to enhance the media’s adhesive properties, facilitating the adherence of waste particles. Salt, added during production, dissolves during cooling, leaving a rough surface ideal for biofilm adhesion.
With its new shape and profile, K+Media boasts an unparalleled surface area, providing an overall surface area of 1,350m² per m³. Importantly for biological filtration, the protected surface area of K+Media is 1,025m² per m³. This allows for the formation and preservation of a stable biofilm, particularly beneficial in moving bed biological filtration systems.
