Boost Wastewater Treatment Efficiency with HPU & PU Bio-Fillers

Juntai HPU & PU bio-fillers combine an open-cell macro/micro-pore polyurethane structure with hydrophilic active groups for rapid microorganism immobilization, high volumetric treatment capacity and lower operating costs across aerobic and anaerobic biological systems.

01  Why Operators Switch to HPU & PU Bio-Fillers

Conventional plastic MBBR carriers only give biofilm a thin outer surface to cling to - biomass washes out under load, oxygen transfer drops and operators end up running extra aeration to compensate. Juntai HPU & PU bio-fillers break that cycle: their open-cell polyurethane matrix physically entraps microorganisms, shears air bubbles into finer sizes and sustains a dense, active biofilm even under shock loads.

 
 
 
 
1.7x
Rapid Water Absorption
 
HPU media expands to about 1.7 times its dry volume when wetted and sinks within minutes - fast, reliable startup with no pre-soaking and no floating media.

m2/m3 Surface Area
 
Macropores keep gas-liquid-solid contact stable while micropores trap biomass, maximizing space utilization and eliminating biofilm dead zones.

03  HPU Bio-Filler vs Conventional Carriers

The table below compares HPU sponge media with conventional plastic MBBR carriers on the factors that decide biological treatment performance and operating cost. HPU entraps biomass inside its foam matrix instead of relying on exposed channel surfaces.

04  HPU Bio-Filler Application Guidance

HPU bio-filler is supplied as 30×30×30 mm polyurethane cubes with one proven chemistry - how you deploy it depends on whether the tank is aerobic or anaerobic.

Standard Cube Specification
Supplied as 30×30×30 mm polyurethane cubes with >3,400 m²/m³ surface area and 96% open-cell porosity; the media expands to about 1.7× its dry volume when wetted and settles on its own.
Aerobic Tank - Loose Media
Run HPU media directly in aerobic tanks without bio balls: its light weight keeps fluidization good and drives less power than other media.
Anaerobic Tank - Bio Ball Hybrid
In anaerobic tanks there is no gas to lift the media, so pair it with bio balls: place one vesuvianite together with 3–6 HPU cubes inside each bio ball to hold the ball mid-water instead of floating on the surface.
Packing & Supply
Shipped dry-compressed at 20 kgs/cbm (5 bags/cbm) or dense-packed at 13 kgs/cbm (2 bags/cbm).

05  Application Scenarios

Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Aerobic MBBR basins and biological treatment trains where high surface area and rapid biofilm startup lift BOD and COD removal.
High-Load Industrial Effluent
Food, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical wastewater with variable organic loads that overwhelm conventional carriers.
Anaerobic & Bio-Ball Hybrid
Anaerobic tanks where HPU media is combined with bio balls and vesuvianite to keep the media submerged and working.
Aquaculture & RAS
Moving-bed biofilters for fish farms - high NH3-N removal with gentle media that will not injure stock.
