FBC Technologies has captured the power of the Bio˛Bloc^® and applied it to a mobile treatment system! The Mobile Attached Growth (MAG^®) system was developed for a multitude of reasons:

          • Portable fixed-film treatment
          • BTEX chemical remediation
          • Overflow treatment
          • Immediately increase plant capacity

Using the MAG system, an operation can easily add capacity to:

          • Groundwater Remediation at

            Contaminated Sites

          • Activated Sludge Basins
          • Extended Aeration Basins

          • SBRs & Package Plants

          • Lagoon Systems

          • RBC replacement

The Bio˛Bloc system has performed successfully in removing BOD and ammonia – where alternatives would have been too expensive or have taken too long to implement. The Bio˛Bloc provides a rich and stable environment to bolster microorganisms that naturally exist in your wastewater. Unlike other treatment devices, the aerated media beds are in constant contact with the water and are completely aerated by a highly efficient aeration system.

Each Bio˛Bloc is filled with thousands of pieces of bio-media where, during normal operation, a healthy biomass is formed by a supply of air and water produced by the fine bubble membrane diffusers located on the bottom of each bio-chamber. As with any fixed-film biological contactor, the units will tend to become overgrown with organisms after a period of time. When this happens, it’s time for back-flushing! The patented Bio˛Bloc has a separate coarse-bubble system, valved from the shore, to slough the media bed and clear the chamber for renewed growth. 

Bio˛Blocs have been successfully installed to maintain nitrification down to 4 degrees C. Bio˛Blocs create the stable, oxygen-rich, and immobilized microenvironment favored by these bacteria. Successful performance of Bio˛Bloc systems have been achieved through complete winter seasons in upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania. The Bio˛Bloc system can be sized to eliminate as much ammonia, BOD, or BTEX hydrocarbons as necessary in your effluent.
