The MARPAK Advantage

Fixed film media has traditionally been made in 2 ft height increments due to production limitations (sizes of thermoformers and molds to create the media sheets). Marley cooling tower fill has been produced for over 30 years and the advantage of taller fill heights has been recognized. This has resulted in the development of larger thermoformers to product fill media up to 6 ft tall.

There are several advantages of taller media, primarily due to the presence of fewer interfaces between modules:

Less deflection under load because the edge- to-edge interface between modules deforms more than the internal structure of the media.

Less clogging by biosolids because module interfaces produce a blockage location due to exposed media edges.

Less air blockage (pressure drop) for better air distribution.

Less installation time.

Just as with a cooling tower, water and air distribution efficiency is critical to the performance of a trickling filter. For that reason, SPX advocates minimizing the number of module interfaces by using taller modules in any media installation, whether for a cooling tower or for a trickling filter.

MARPAK Advantages

Taller heights of 4 ft (MXF 4800 and MXF 3000) and 6 ft (MCR 3100).

Taller MARPAK modules mean:

Stability—Less settling over you filter's life

Efficiency—Less clogging by biomass at module interfaces

Performance—Less air blockage due to interfaces

Quicker Installation—Fewer modules to handle

In third-party test of MXF 3000 media, two 2 ft tall modules deflected nearly 70% more than two 4 ft tall modules*. For example, if filter media with 2 ft tall modules settle by 4 in during its lifetime, 4 ft tall modules in the same filter will settle less than 2 38 in.

*Based on percentage of height.
