These products provide surface sites for bacteria to attach and do  their work. The greater the surface area per gram of medium, the greater the  number of bacteria that can attach. Thus a high specific surface area is  desirable. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e There is a second consideration, and that is the size of the pores in the  medium. Generally, with very large pore diameters, we have smaller specific  surface area, so that is not good. This generally rules out pores above 10  microns in diameter. But we can go too far in the other direction. If we have a  very large number of very, very small pores, then our specific surface area  number will be phenomenal, but the medium will not work very well as a  biological medium. This is due to physical limitations, specifically too small a  volume to support bacterial growth, and the decreasing efficiency of fluid  transport (necessary to carry nutrients to the bacteria and waste away from the  bacteria) with very small pore sizes. (Small pores still play important roles in  physical and chemical processes, such as adsorption.) \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e BET surface area measurements indicate that Matrix\" contains nearly 10 times the  specific surface area of Substrat Pro, and more than 20 times the specific  surface area of MicroMec. Practically all the specific surface area of both  Substrat Pro and MicroMec are in the range of pore diameters to be biologically  useful, while some of the surface area of Matrix is in pores that are reserved  for physical and chemical processes, not biological processes. Estimates from  two different pore geometries indicate that Matrix contains between 4 to 4.5  times the biologically active surface area of Substrat Pro, and between 8 to 9  times the biologically active surface area of MicroMec.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For a more in depth report on this study, click here.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Directions\u003cbr\u003e Use 500 mL of Matrix\" for each 200 L (50 gallons*) of water.

Plastic bio-materials provide only external surface area, whereas Matrix\" provides both external and internal macroporous surface area.

These products provide surface sites for bacteria to attach and do their work. The greater the surface area per gram of medium, the greater the number of bacteria that can attach. Thus a high specific surface area is desirable.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThere is a second consideration, and that is the size of the pores in the medium. Generally, with very large pore diameters, we have smaller specific surface area, so that is not good. This generally rules out pores above 10 microns in diameter. But we can go too far in the other direction. If we have a very large number of very, very small pores, then our specific surface area number will be phenomenal, but the medium will not work very well as a biological medium. This is due to physical limitations, specifically too small a volume to support bacterial growth, and the decreasing efficiency of fluid transport (necessary to carry nutrients to the bacteria and waste away from the bacteria) with very small pore sizes. (Small pores still play important roles in physical and chemical processes, such as adsorption.)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tBET surface area measurements indicate that Matrix\" contains nearly 10 times the specific surface area of Substrat Pro, and more than 20 times the specific surface area of MicroMec. Practically all the specific surface area of both Substrat Pro and MicroMec are in the range of pore diameters to be biologically useful, while some of the surface area of Matrix is in pores that are reserved for physical and chemical processes, not biological processes.
