Function

The Biofix system engineered by Novotec  features aerated fixed bed technology. A carrier material is fitted into a bioreactor. The unit includes an aeration grid with external blower. Biomass accumulates on the carrier and treats the waste water which passes by. By dividing the reactor into different compartments, specific biology develops in each section. This phenomenon causes an environment where the excess biological sludge is degraded inside the bioreactor, resulting in a minimal sludge production.

The fixed bed biology is extremely adaptable and achieves excellent results in cases where both flow and charge of the water are variable.

The specific geometric design of the fixed bed, allows us to engineer performant systems with a limited surface demand. The technology can be implemented in all sorts of reactors, being concrete, plastic, containerized, underground or above the surface. The Biofix system adapts to nearly any type of circumstances.
