What Is the New Type of Biological Carriers? Discover the Revolutionary PCG Biocarrier for Superior Wastewater Treatment
In the evolving world of wastewater treatment, biological carriers play a critical role in biofilm processes, determining efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. Traditional carriers, such as plastic media or ceramic rings, often struggle with limitations like poor microbial adhesion, low surface area, and short lifespans. Enter PCG Biocarriers (Polymer Composite Gel Biocarriers) – a groundbreaking innovation by shanghai dubhe environmental protection&technology Co., Ltd., designed to revolutionize wastewater treatment with unmatched performance.
This article explores why PCG Biocarriers are the next-generation solution for industries, municipalities, and environmental projects seeking higher efficiency, lower sludge production, and longer-lasting performance.
PCG Biocarriers are engineered from a highly hydrophilic polymer composite gel, inspired by Japanese technology and refined over a decade of R&D. Key features include:
Micron-level pore structure (≥10,000 m²/m³ surface area) – Maximizes microbial attachment.
98% porosity – Ensures optimal oxygen and nutrient diffusion.
Soft, non-abrasive texture – Protects equipment while resisting wear.
Unlike conventional carriers, PCG’s unique gel matrix naturally attracts beneficial bacteria, accelerating biofilm formation in just 3-7 days – 50% faster than traditional media.
PCG Biocarriers excel in ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total nitrogen (TN), and COD removal, making them ideal for:
Municipal wastewater plants (meeting strict Class IV standards, e.g., TN <10 mg/L).
Industrial effluents (food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemical plants).
Decentralized systems (rural sewage, highway rest stops).
Proven Efficiency Metrics:
✔ Ammonia oxidation: 12-25 mg NH3-N/carrier/day
✔ BOD removal: 20-100 mg BOD5/carrier/day
✔ COD reduction: 20-150 mg COD/carrier/day
Sludge reduction by 15% – Lower disposal costs.
15+ years lifespan – Outlasts plastic/sponge carriers by 2-3x.
Energy-efficient operation – Enhanced bubble-cutting reduces aeration needs.
Location: China
Challenge: Meet stricter discharge standards (TN <10 mg/L).
Solution: PCG biofilm system retrofit.
Result: Achieved compliance at 6,000 tons/day without expanding infrastructure.
Previous System: SBR (inefficient for high organic loads).
Upgrade: PCG biofilm process.
Outcome: 40% higher treatment capacity at 100 m³/day.
Application: Small-scale, decentralized treatment (50-100 m³/day).
Advantage: Low sludge production + easy maintenance – Perfect for remote locations.
