FAQ's

ProBio Media is an inorganic ceramic material with a very high porosity and surface area. It is made with nano-technology which means that there is control over the molecular composition and structure of the media.

ProBio Media is an excellent biocarrier, it is “real estate for bacteria”. This feature makes ProBio Media very useful for biological treatment of water.

The ProBio Media is essentially a ceramic platform for different uses. Using nano-technology to modify the surface in very specific ways can turn the ProBio Media into an adsorbent for specific chemicals and even a disinfectant.

A modified version of ProBio Media is called PO4-sponge. This means that it adsorbs phosphorous which is a very strong pollutant that encourages algae growth. Another modified version is called “DeNite” and this version specifically removes nitrate. Another modified version is called “CeramiChlor” and this version kills bacteria.

There are germicidal particles embedded inside of CeramiChlor that kill bacteria on contact. This is used for instance in pools to significantly reduce chlorine needs.

It is safe to drink the water produced by CeramiChlor when it is used as directed. However we have not yet obtained drinking water approval for this product. We are in the process of doing so and will update when that happens.

It costs around 0.10 $USD to treat one cubic meter of domestic sewage to tertiary (<10 mg/L ammonia) level. Using ProBio Media in any treatment process makes the water quality higher and helps with any auxiliary process such as filtration or disinfection.

Aquaculture– fish love clean water and ProBio Media really helps fish and shrimp grow better.

Lakes and reservoirs– ProBio media is a safe and natural way to get rid of algae

Compost, biosolids, odors– ProBio Media speeds up the composting of biosolids and neutralizes odors coming from anaerobic sewage pipes or septage

Industrial Sewage– ProBio Media has very robust bacterial colonies to increase the biological treatment of industrial sewage

Septic tanks– ProBio Media is used in small decentralized wastewater bioreactors to upgrade septic tanks from simple sedimentation tanks to powerful nutrient removal tanks.  This is an excellent way to prevent nitrogen contamination and overload from a huge variety of sources including agricultural.

A septic tank, also Imhoff tank, is a passive technology used to collect, sediment and partially treat wastewater. It does not do a good job at removing nitrogen. With time, Nitrogen from septic tank overflow can pollute groundwater in the infiltration zone. New regulations in many areas, such as in Europe, the USA and elsewhere, require nitrogen removal to be implemented in septic tank systems. The ProBio Media offers a unique and effective method for this task. A small-scale highly effective bioreactor containing ProBio Media known as “ATB” can be inserted directly into the septic tank and will remove nitrogen to well below regulation limits. All that is needed is a low wattage electric connection, around a lightbulb’s worth of electricity.

ProBio Media actually removes sludge from the septic tank and from other water bodies as well. In lakes, as much as 1 ft (around 30 cm) of organic benthic sediment is removed per year when ProBio media is applied. When the sludge is mineral in origin such as from metals, building material or clay, it is not removed biologically and needs to be manually removed according to a regular maintenance plan.

The ProBio Media is completely safe, made from clean, responsibly sourced material, does not have any non-renewable material such as plastic and is completely recycleable. Using ProBio Media in a variety of settings can lead to better performance, smaller carbon footprint and higher quality aquaculture, water and air.         

LABORATORY EXPERT

Laboratories used for scientific research take many forms because of the differing requirements of specialists in the various fields of science and engineering. A physics laboratory might contain a particle accelerator or vacuum chamber, while a metallurgy laboratory could have apparatus for casting or refining metals or for testing their strength.
