Contact Carrier Material

Use of PVDC Fiber (Saran™) for Waste Water Treatment

As a characteristic of PVDC fiber (Saran™), Microorganisms in Waste Water easily attaches to the surface of the fiber. Because of this characteristic, PVDC fiber (Saran™) is widely used as material for bio-film contactors in waste water treatment.

Usage example

(1)Bio String Contactor

String Contact media using PVDC multifilament (Saran™) with a wide surface area by knitting into loops.

(2) Three-dimensional non-woven cloth (SaranLock™) contactor

SaranLock™ is a three-dimensional non-woven cloth that uses crimped PVDC filament (Saran™) Fiber.

Bio string contactor (Clean Loop™)

Clean Loop™ is a bio string contactor that uses PVDC multifilament fiber knitted into loops.
It has a wide surface area and is a popular material for wastewater treatment as it works efficiently. Loops are adequately dense and aerated water goes through the outside of the loop. This allows an aerobic condition at the surface of the contractor, and allows the facultative anaerobe to work near the center of the fiber.
Table 1 shows the weight and surface area of Clean Loop™

Surface area (1) shows the PVDC fiber +Ground yarn surface.
Surface area (2) shows the PVDC fiber only. (Mainly the loop area)
These values are calculated center values and vary by the knitting process conditions.

"Fluidizing" Fixed Bed(Bio-Capsule、SunBreo™)

BioCapsule is the Capsule filled with SunBreo. SunBreo is a beadroll like Bio contactor.
SunBreo is made with crimped PVDC fiber and has a high microorganism adherability.
By putting in the BioCapsule to the aeration tank, it flows along the rotational flow and moves randomly. It improves the performance of the waste water treatment.
As a "Fluidizing" Fixed bed, it is populated by a wide variety of the microorganisms and reduces the excess sludge acquired through the food chain. We can also expect nitrification, and nitrogen removal.
SunBreo can also be used for material as strings for the fixed bed.
