Wastewater media needs to suit the process, loading and treatment objective.
Wastewater and industrial treatment applications often involve variable flow, solids loading, organic matter, process changes and practical site constraints.
The right media choice depends on the treatment stage, target outcome, filter configuration, backwash method, hydraulic loading and how the system is expected to operate over time.
Absorb can help review the application and supply media options for replacement, refurbishment, process improvement or project supply.

Application guidance
Wastewater media selection starts with the duty, not just the product name.
For wastewater treatment, media selection should consider the incoming water quality, solids load, biological or chemical process, flow rate, bed depth, filtration stage and backwash capability.
For existing systems, photos, media samples, operating history and any available lab or performance information can help identify whether the media profile needs replacement, adjustment or a different supply approach.
If you are unsure what product is needed, send through what you are treating, what problem you are trying to solve, and any site or system information you have.
