Does MBBR media require replacement or regeneration?

MBBR media are durable, but may need replacement or regeneration in certain situations:
Replacement:
Mechanical Wear: Continuous motion can cause surface wear, reducing biofilm growth area.
Chemical Degradation: Exposure to harsh chemicals may degrade the material.
Loss of Media: Media may be lost during maintenance or design issues.
Structural Failure: Rarely, media may break or lose buoyancy.
Regeneration:
Excessive Biofilm: Over-thick biofilm can be removed through controlled cleaning.
Contamination: Contaminants may require cleaning or chemical regeneration.
Maintenance:
Regular monitoring and preventive measures can extend media life.
Follow manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and replacement.
