In the modern wastewater treatment landscape, facility managers and environmental engineers face a common dilemma: How do you increase treatment capacity and meet stricter discharge standards without the massive capital expense of building new tanks?
The answer lies in optimizing the biological process. At HNS Watertech, we specialize in high-performance Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) media solutions engineered to solve capacity constraints for both industrial and municipal sectors.
With over 25 years of manufacturing expertise (formerly HydroNovus), we don’t just supply plastic; we supply process efficiency. Here is why leading engineers are switching to HNS Watertech bio-carriers.
1. The Geometry of Efficiency: Maximized Surface Area
Not all MBBR media is created equal. The core effectiveness of a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor depends on the “protected active surface area.”
HNS Watertech has engineered a geometric design that significantly increases the surface area available for microbial growth.
- The Benefit: A larger surface area allows for high-density microbial colonies to thrive in a smaller volume.
- The Result: You can treat higher loads of BOD/COD within your existing tank footprint, effectively “upgrading” your plant without breaking ground on new infrastructure.
2. Engineered for Attachment: Fast Start-Up & Resilience
A common pain point with generic bio-carriers is the long “start-up” time required for biofilm to attach.
HNS Watertech media features a complex internal structure optimized for biofilm grip. This hydrophilic design ensures rapid colonization of bacteria. Furthermore, this strong attachment provides resilience against load shocks and hydraulic fluctuations, ensuring your system remains stable even during peak industrial discharge events.
3. Deep Nitrification for Strict Compliance
As environmental regulations regarding nitrogen and phosphorous discharge tighten globally, nitrification capability is non-negotiable.
Our media is purpose-built to support the specific bacteria strains required for deep nitrification. Whether you are retrofitting an existing activated sludge plant or designing a new IFAS (Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge) system, HNS Watertech media ensures you meet superior nitrogen removal standards.
4. The Economics: 25% Cost Savings
Efficiency isn’t just about chemistry; it’s about the bottom line. By optimizing the biological tank volume required for treatment, HNS Watertech solutions can significantly lower the Civil Engineering costs of a project.
- Smaller Footprint: High-efficiency media means smaller tanks.
- CapEx Reduction: Our partners report reducing overall project investment by up to 25% when utilizing our optimized media designs compared to conventional methods.
5. Supply Chain Security: Automated Production
In a global market, consistency is king. HNS Watertech utilizes an advanced, automated manufacturing process.
- 100% Consistency: Every piece of media is identical, ensuring predictable fluid dynamics and biological performance.
- Rapid Delivery: Our scalability allows us to meet the demands of large-scale municipal projects globally without lead-time bottlenecks.
Conclusion: Partner with Experience
Sustainability is at the heart of water innovation. Whether you know us as HNS Watertech or remember our roots as HydroNovus, our commitment remains the same: delivering the most efficient bio-carriers in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the lifespan of HNS Watertech MBBR media?
A: HNS Watertech’s MBBR media is manufactured using high-quality, virgin High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), engineered to withstand continuous agitation and abrasion within the reactor. With proper operation and standard maintenance, our bio-carriers have a design life expectancy exceeding 20 years, providing long-term stability and maximizing your return on investment.
Q: Can HNS media be used for IFAS upgrades?
A: Absolutely. Our media is an ideal solution for Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) system retrofits. By adding HNS Watertech bio-carriers to existing activated sludge basins, facilities can significantly increase biomass concentration and treatment capacity—often doubling the capacity—without the need to construct new tanks or expand the facility’s physical footprint.
Q: How does HNS Watertech ensure media consistency?
A: Unlike manufacturers that rely on manual molding, HNS Watertech utilizes a fully automated high-efficiency production process. This ensures 100% geometric consistency across every single bio-carrier. This precision guarantees predictable fluid dynamics, uniform surface area, and reliable biofilm attachment, eliminating the performance variability often seen with lower-quality media.
