Are you looking to optimize nitrification and denitrification in your Hatchery, Smolt, or Growout facility? The Mutag BioChip™ empowers you to achieve superior water quality and operational efficiency in your RAS system.

With over 20 years of expertise in biofiltration and bio media development for MBBR and IFAS, the Mutag BioChip™ has become a trusted solution for aquaculture professionals worldwide since its launch in 2008. If you want proven results and a competitive edge, here’s why the Mutag BioChip™ is the smart choice for your biofiltration needs:

1. High peformance
You benefit from up to 5,500 m2/m3 active surface area and just 1.1 mm thickness, ensuring rapid oxygen transfer and thin, efficient biofilms. This means you achieve high removal rates and stable processes – ideal for nitrification, COD removal, and denitrification.

2. Self-cleaning design
As the chip moves through your water, it cleans itself. This keeps your biomass thin and active, while minimizing sludge production and maintenance.

3. Lower energy consumption
The lightweight design and low kinetic energy of the Mutag BioChip™ lower your power requirements for mixing and aeration. You can rely on our support to dimension your biofilters for optimal energy savings.

4. Long-term reliability
You can trust in long-term reliability – installations have run for over 15 years without cleaning or replacement, and still show no wear and tear. You get a 10+ year warranty and peace of mind with no unexpected maintenance.

5. Easy retrofitting
You can retrofit your existing biofilters simply by swapping out or adding Mutag BioChip™ – no need for extra tanks or major rebuilds. This makes upgrades fast, flexible, and cost-effective.

6. A responsible choice
You can select a version of the Mutag BioChip™ made from post-industrial recycled PE. Both options are free from phthalates and microplastic emissions, so you benefit from proven durability and reliable performance without compromising on environmental standards.
