BioPorts™ Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS)

Upgrade Your Activated Sludge Plant – Intensify Treatment Without Expanding Footprint

Meet Today’s Toughest Limits:
Whether you need to comply with stricter limits on ammonia, cBOD₅, total nitrogen/nitrate, or even phosphorus, your treatment system must deliver consistent results.

Increase Biological Power:
BioPorts™ Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) technology boosts your plant’s performance by providing a large surface area for attached-growth biomass. By supporting both nitrifying and heterotrophic bacteria, BioPorts minimizes washout and accelerates nutrient removal—all without major footprint expansion.

Features

Why Choose BioPorts™?
Nexom is the exclusive source for BioPorts™ IFAS, which combines the proven science of fixed-film kinetics with Nexom’s decades of biological treatment expertise to achieve intensified nitrification, denitrification, BOD reduction, and even enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR).
