What is Fluidised media reactor?

Fluidised Media Reactor (FMR) is designed as a single tank unit, incorporating a bar screen chamber, specially developed synthetic media to facilitate attached growth process, oxygen transfer through diffused membrane aeration, a lamella settled and a chlorine contact tank for disinfection.

What does a Fluidised reactor do?

Fluidised bed reactors provide biological filtration very similar to that provided by under gravel filters. Nitrifying bacteria colonies grow on the surface of the particles of sand in the bed, and process ammonia and nitrite into nitrate as the water passes through the filter.

What is the best media reactor?

What are fluidised beds used for?

Fluidized beds are used for several purposes, such as fluidized bed reactors (types of chemical reactors), solids separation, fluid catalytic cracking, fluidized bed combustion, heat or mass transfer or interface modification, such as applying a coating onto solid items.

Can you use a media reactor for freshwater aquarium?

This type of reactor gets its name from the PhosBan filter media which is designed to bind to large amounts of phosphate, removing it from tank water – this filter media is effective for both saltwater and freshwater tanks and it can last for several months.

Where does the media reactor go in a sump?

Turbo Media Reactor Side Flow Large – Lifegard Just put in the proper amount of media for your aquarium and then place it directly into your sump and plug it in! The side flow reactors can be placed almost anywhere in the sump with their space-saving…

What are the benefits of having a fluidised bed reactor rather than a packed bed?

Fluidized-bed reactors offer a much higher efficiency in heat exchange, compared to fixed beds, and better temperature control, due to the turbulent gas flow and rapid circulation. At the same time, the high gas velocities do not cause any pressure drop issues and smaller catalyst particles can be employed.

What are the disadvantages of fluidized bed reactors?

Disadvantages. As in any design, the fluidized bed reactor does have its draw-backs, which any reactor designer must take into consideration. Increased reactor vessel size: Because of the expansion of the bed materials in the reactor, a larger vessel is often required than that for a packed bed reactor.
