De Nora has over 50 years of experience removing nutrients, organic compounds, and solids in tertiary fixed-film biological filters. De Nora’s flagship biofilter with over 300 installations is the DE NORA TETRA Denite® system, which biologically reduces phosphorus and converts soluble nitrates to nitrogen gas in an anoxic environment. Existing De Nora media filters can be easily upgraded to biologically active mode as well.
DE NORA TETRA® Biological Filtration
The robust design of DE NORA TETRA filters creates an ideal environment for simultaneous biological and physical/chemical treatment. Common applications include polishing municipal wastewater effluent to reuse standards and/or regulatory discharge limits. Potable and water reuse applications combine De Nora ozone and biological filtration technologies to oxidize micropollutants and to mitigate disinfection byproduct formation.
Easy to Operate and Maintain
Cost Saving
Reliable and Robust
Regulatory Compliance
What is DE NORA TETRA biological filtration?
Wastewater treatment facilities face both increasing regulations and tightening operating budgets. DE NORA TETRA biofilters can be designed in a variety of configurations to achieve optimal treatment for biological oxidation of organic compounds, nitrification , and denitrification.
With DE NORA TETRA Denite biological denitrification systems, nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended solids are removed in a single process solution. Ideal where space restrictions exist, the fixed-film process requires only one-tenth of the space needed for suspended growth systems, making it easy to expand or retrofit existing tertiary filtration systems.
In addition to anaerobic systems, DE NORA TETRA ColOX™, SAF, and NSAF are aerobic biofilters that are used for BOD/COD oxidation and nitrification.
