TRICKLING FILTER

BIOLOGICAL TRICKLING FILTER

iological trickling filters are used to remove organic contaminants from both air and wastewater. They work by passing air or water through a media designed to collect a biofilm on its surfaces.

Biological Trickling Filter Design

The biofilm may be composed of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria which breakdown organic contaminants in water or air. Some of the media used for these systems include gravel, sand, foam, and ceramic materials.

Biological Trickling Filter Applications

The most popular application of this technology is municipal wastewater treatment and air remediation to remove H2S at municipal sewer plants.
Biological trickling filters can be used in many situations where odor control is important.

Advantages:

- Very low energy use
- Very effective for air remediation
- Durable system components

Disadvantages:

- Little control over the treatment process
- Media may clog

PROJECT BRIEFS

Rare Earth Mine Recycles Brine Stream for Acid and Caustic Production with LANTERN Multi-Stage Brine Conditioning System

When a rare earth mine in North America sought to improve efficiency by recovering brine for acid and caustic production, it turned to LANTERN for a brine conditioning circuit to handle its complex blend of contaminants.

Oil Refinery Replaces Old Softening Equipment and Reduces Boiler Makeup Water Hardness with UPCORE™ Softening System

When an oil refinery in West Virginia needed to replace its softening equipment with a more efficient system, LANTERN helped the client install and run an effective UPCORE™ ion exchange system for minimal hardness and maximum results.

Specialty Metals Producer Optimizes Cadmium Recovery, Leveraging LANTERN Ion Exchange Technology for Wastewater Treatment

When a specialty metals producer in the Midwest needed an efficient solution for capturing cadmium from its wastewater streams, it looked to LANTERN for an ion exchange (IX) solution to maximize its resources.
