The term biomedia generally refers to the carriers (materials) used in biological water treatment systems (wastewater treatment plants, recirculating aquaculture systems, etc.). These carriers provide a large surface area for bacteria that degrade organic matter, oxidize ammonia (NH₃) into nitrites/nitrates, and more.
MUTAG is a German company specialized in advanced biomedia, particularly for biological reactors (MBBR – Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor). Their flagship product is the Mutag BioChip™, a high-performance plastic carrier.

Mutag BioChip™ Biomedia – Description
-
Shape: small flat and porous plastic disc.
-
Size: about 25 mm in diameter, 1.1 mm thick.
-
Specific surface area: up to 3500 m²/m³ of media (very high compared to conventional carriers).
-
Mechanism:
-
Bacteria attach to and grow on/inside the porous structure.
-
The outer layer supports rapid nitrification (aerobic bacteria).
-
The deeper inner layers allow anoxic processes (possible denitrification).
-
-
Advantages:
-
Excellent nitrogen removal capacity (NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻).
-
Low risk of clogging thanks to continuous mixing.
-
Very long lifetime (over 20 years).
-
Compact design allowing small but highly efficient installations.
-
Applications:
-
Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment.
-
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).
-
Agro-food effluent treatment.
