Biological Filtration

Natural treatment, lasting results
Biological filtration uses naturally occurring microorganisms to break down organic matter and pollutants in water. It’s a simple and sustainable way to improve water quality without heavy chemical use – making it ideal for wastewater treatment, reuse and discharge applications.
Here at ByWater, we design biological filtration systems to suit your process. Every system is engineered for reliability and efficiency, suitable for waste water recovery, site run-off and industrial effluent treatment.
How it works
The biological filtration process relies on a carefully controlled biological environment in which beneficial bacteria convert organic contaminants, ammonia and nutrients into harmless by-products. Water passes through a filter media bed where these microorganisms live and work, leaving cleaner, clearer water on the other side.
As the process is self-sustaining and adaptable, it’s a low-energy, low-intervention alternative to traditional chemical treatment.
Why choose biological filtration?
- Environmentally friendly: reduces or eliminates the need for chemical treatment.
- Low operating costs: simple design and low energy demand.
- Effective treatment: removes organic matter, ammonia and odour-causing compounds.
- Flexible: suitable for a range of flow rates and water types.
- Reliable: proven, stable technology with minimal maintenance needs.
Applications
- Wash water and wheel wash recycling
- Industrial and construction site effluent treatment
- Leachate and groundwater remediation
- Surface water and run-off polishing
- Reliable: proven, stable technology with minimal maintenance needs.
