BioMediaGREEN Revolutionary Filter Media
The Modular Wetland System Linear's third stage of treatment is a perimeter media filter which utilizes BioMediaGREEN. This amazing filtration media is changing the way we think of filtration media. Most systems utilize a granular media that needs to be contained, is heavy in weight, and difficult to change. In contrast, BioMediaGREEN is light weight, comes in lightweight filtration blocks making it easy to handle and simple to replace.

Hydraulic Conductivity
BioMediaGREEN can process up to 9.7 GPM per square foot surface area.
We use a flow rate of 4.5 GPM to account for clogging that occurs over time.
