BAF – Biofiltration

BIOPUR®
BIOPUR® is the biofiltration system developed by WABAG for the biological treatment of wastewater. It uses biofilms – which are cultivated on solid surfaces – to biologically degrade the pollutants in the wastewater. At the same time, suspended solids are captured by the filter materials. BIOPUR® is a modern and space-saving process that is capable of meeting the toughest of water treatment requirements in both municipal and industrial contexts.
The carrier materials and filter media are tailored precisely to water treatment needs and so the system is completely customizable for a multitude of applications. The system can be effectively combined with other treatment methods such as tertiary filtration, making it ideal for plants that are tasked with removing micropollutants.
WABAG’s BIOPUR has been continuously developed over more than 30 years and WABAG is among the very few companies in the world capable of delivering this most compact Biological Process.
