Biofiltration for Wastewater Treatment and Water Reuse.

BIOPUR® is a biofiltration system developed by WABAG for the biological treatment of wastewater. It utilizes biofilms, cultivated on solid surfaces, to biologically degrade pollutants in the wastewater, while simultaneously capturing suspended solids with filter materials. BIOPUR® is a modern and space-saving process capable of meeting the toughest water treatment requirements in both municipal and industrial contexts.

The outstanding feature of BIOPUR® is its use of structured packing and granular filter media. The carrier materials and filter media are precisely tailored to water treatment needs, making the system fully customizable for a multitude of applications. It can be effectively combined with other treatment methods such as tertiary filtration, making it ideal for plants tasked with removing micropollutants.

Key Features

• Highly compact
• Suitable for enclosed plants with minimum emissions
• Highly flexible in hydraulic fluctuations and organic load variations, especially when combined with other process stages
• Highly automated operation
• High treatment efficiency, suitable for water reuse

WABAG’s biofiltration process is one of the most advanced and efficient in the wastewater treatment sector. Its range of applications embraces both the municipal and industrial  sectors – including the treatment of wastewater for water reuse (e.g. process water or irrigation).
