Media Commissioning and Replacement Services

Filter media changeouts and commissioning for Biogas, RNG, Water Treatment Plants, and more

What is Media Replacement?

Whether commissioning new equipment or replacing existing media, proper installation and maintenance are critical for filtration system performance.

BioVac specializes in both new system startups and media changeouts across RNG, Biogas, water treatment and Industrial applications. We expertly handle materials such as activated carbon (including specialized media for RNG/biogas cleanup), filter sand, support layers like screens and core pads, anthracite, and Green Sand Plus™. Our installation methods include eductors, manual loading, and pneumatic techniques to ensure optimal system performance from day one.

Our processes adhere to strict safety standards and practices, guaranteeing the highest quality of service whether we're commissioning new equipment or performing routine media replacement.

How Can Media Replacement Benefit You?

Replacing media in your filtration systems is crucial for maintaining their efficiency and effectiveness. 

Regular media replacement helps:

  • Enhance Filtration Efficiency: Fresh media improves the performance and lifespan of your filtration systems.

  • Ensure Water Quality: Regular replacement of media like sand, anthracite, and Green Sand Plus helps maintain clean and safe water for various uses.

  • Scrub Dirty Gas: Different types of activated carbon, silica gel beads, and other materials are used for the cleaning of methane as part of the Renewable Natural Gas process.

  • Reduce Maintenance Costs: Proactively replacing worn-out media can prevent more costly repairs and downtime in the future.

  • Comply with Industry Standards: Adheres to environmental and safety regulations, ensuring your operations remain up to standard.
