Biofilters and MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) systems are the biological core of modern Recirculating Aquaculture Systems ( RAS ) and advanced aquaponic and aquaculture facilities. These systems convert toxic nitrogen compounds—primarily ammonia (NH₃/NH₄⁺) and nitrite (NO₂⁻)—into less harmful nitrate (NO₃⁻) through nitrifying bacteria. Reliable biological filtration ensures ...
Biofilter in RAS
In a Recirculating Aquaculture System ( RAS ), the biological filter ( biofilter ) is essential for converting toxic ammonia (from fish waste) into less harmful nitrate through the nitrogen cycle.
RAS capital costs are 5-10× higher than pond systems but offer year-round production and biosecurity advantages. Sources Timmons, M.B. & Ebeling, J.M. (2013). Recirculating Aquaculture , 3rd edition.
