BIOFLOC¨Þ(Bio-Polymer Flocculator)

BIOFLOC¨Þ ?

  • BIOFLOC is an Bio-polymer polysaccharide secreted by the white fungus, Pestalotiopsis sp. extra-cellularly.
  • Differently from other Bio-polymer produced by microorganisms, BIOFLOC has significant molecular weight greater than 5 million dalton.
  • Structure and molecular weight may be retained uniformly during the cultivation, therefore flocculating activity can be maintained uniformly.
  • BIOFLOC is a polysaccharide consisted of 5 carbohydrates. It's ratio is as the follow ;
    galactosamine : glucuronic acid : galacturonic acid : glucose : galactose = 10.77 : 2.87 : 1 : 50.65 : 1.39
  • BIOFLOC is a branched polysaccharide with the bond pattern of ¥á-, ¥â- type.

Characteristics

    ¢Â High flocculating activity higher than chemically synthesized polymer coagulants(Same effect by adding 1/2 ~ 1/5 of dosage)
    ¢Â Removal of suspended material and heavy metal in waste water
    ¢Â COD, Chromaticity Reducing Effect
    ¢Â For Bulking Control and Pinfloc Prevention
    ¢Â Full Removal of Secondary Contamination through bio-degradability, atoxicity
    ¢Â Reuse of Surplus Sludge (utilize as a fertilizer)
    ¢Â Dredging Work
    ¢Â Removal of Fermentating Bacteria
