Melcourt Bioshells® are used for:-
- Medium to High H2S applications
- Non toxic reduction of organic odours.
- Microbial growth media.
- Air flow skeleton.
- Low pressure drop media.
- A 100% natural
media.
- Large surface
area.
- Open structure.
- Self supporting to
3 metres depth.
Typical Uses
- Suitable for all biofilter applications where odours are organic in origin -

- Melcourt Bioshells®
offer excellent mass transfer characteristics at a relatively low pressure
drop.
- Reduced start-up
time due to continuous irrigation capacity and pre-seeding capability.
- Increased odour
removal efficiencies.
- Ability to handle
large and sustained peak loadings .
- Low maintenance
media.
- pH regulation due
to reaction of acid by-products with calcium carbonate inherent within the
shells.
- Available as
either bulk or bagged delivery.
- Low bulk density.
- Prompt delivery
Product Features
- Easy to install
mechanically or by hand.
- Non toxic method
of odour reduction
- Typical media life
above 2 years.
- Stable environment
for microbial growth due to neutral pH being sustained.
- Acts as a carrier
substrate for micro-organisms to oxidise odorous compounds.
- Very high surface
area for maximum microbial activity
- Allows highly
efficient mass transfer.
- Provides a large
sorption surface for odorous compounds.
- 100% sustainable
waste by-product resource.
-
Neutralisation of oxidation
by-products.
Installation Rates
- Can be installed up to 3 metres depth.
