Cell-Max

Cell-Max™

Cell-Max™ media is designed for the treatment of high levels of H2S in Bio-Scrubbers® (biotrickling filters). It is rigid and acid resistant, therefore eliminating compaction or degradation while consistently achieving specified H2S removal rates.


Cell-Max

Cell-Max™

Cell-Max™ media is an engineered, acid resistant, inorganic substrate designed to be highly porous with uneven shapes thus providing a balanced combination of small pores and large spaces.

Cell-Max-1

Cell-Max™-1

Cell-Max™-1 media measures ⅜″-1″ in size and is a great fit for automated irrigation systems. Open and interconnected pores guarantee fast drainage and high capillary action, which is key for the treatment of high levels of H2S in Bio-Scrubbers®.

Cell-Max-2

Cell-Max™-2

Cell-Max™-2 media measures 1/16″–7/16″ in size, allowing for fast drainage and extreme aeration of blends. These stones can be blended into any soil to increase aeration and drainage and eliminate compaction in hydroponic applications.

Media Selection and Design Support

To utilize biological organisms and mitigate wastewater odors, it is necessary to understand two basic biochemical processes—autotrophic and heterotrophic, and their opposing requirements and ecosystems.

Autotrophic bacteria consume inorganic compounds as an energy source and receives carbon from carbon dioxide. Heterotrophic biological organisms must obtain both energy and carbon from the organic food they consume. GES Biotek is pleased to offer site-specific media selection and design support to create the ideal green environment for your application.
