Fiber-Max ™ Microbiological Odor-Control Solution FOR BIO-SCRUBBERS® AND BIO-FILTERS
The FIBER-MAX™ media used in the Biofilter serves as part of the ecosystem for a naturally occurring selection of fungal and bacterial microorganisms for the capture and degradation of organic compounds and odors. The media is a fibrous cellular substrate material manufactured from natural sources. FIBER-MAX™ is manufactured only from trees and large tree branches. No yard/ construction/demolition waste or commercial wood-based materials are used. No eucalyptus, cedar, redwood, or any other trees having a known inhibitor or germicidal effect on microorganisms are used. The media shall have a proven reliability record for biological growth with a minimum of 500,000 cubic feet installed.
MEDIA INSTALLATION CRITERIA Media shall be wetted to achieve a moisture content between 40% – 60%. Machinery and/or other equipment shall not be allowed on the media at any time. The influent air stream shall have a necessary food source with a minimum of 98% relative humidity supplied either internally or externally from the biofilter. PRIOR TO SHIPMENT Media shall be wetted, then mixed with 1% – 2% GES Gro-Max.
MEDIA ANALYSIS As part of the biofilter media quality assurance and quality control procedures, the biofilter media is analyzed for unwanted contaminates and conditions. GES Biofilter Media meets the following parameters:
MEDIA COMPOSITION The fibrous cellular materials to be used in the biofilter media shall be chip or abraded to supply an air-filled pore space of 35 – 55% with ample surface area for microorganisms to reside. The media shall be cleaned and screened so that leaves, needles, grass and other undesirable materials shall be limited to less than 0.5% of the total media weight. The media sizing shall consist of natural shredded wood with the particle sized to the following:
