XLD is a high performance engineered biofiltration media specifically designed for biosolids applications where the removal of high odor, low H2S and reduced sulfur compounds are critical. Total odor removal efficiencies of up to 99% can be achieved in 30 seconds and greater than 95% in 20 seconds or less, allowing XLD to achieve higher total odor removal in less then half the time of conventional inorganic biofiltration medias. XLD’s short retention times and lightweight design allows for small footprints and unique bed configurations to meet specific site requirements.

Feature
Benefit
Engineered
XLD is an engineered media manufactured to exacting specification; this ensures predictability and consistent removal efficiency.
High Performance
99% removal of biosolids and other sewage plant odors in 30 seconds. Achieves removal of most reduced sulfur compounds to below detection limits.
Light weight
Permits design of unique bed configurations to meet specific site requirements.
Small Footprint
Lower EBRT’s reduces overall footprint
Reduce Capital Cost
Overall installed cost can be reduced by up to 25% over conventional biofilters with inorganic media.
Warranty
XLD is warranted for 10 years.
Following extensive research study, confirmatory pilot studies were conducted using Biorem's XLD media at three sewage plant sites and performance is summarized in Table 1.

* EBRT was 15 seconds for odor and 10 seconds for others
At 30 seconds EBRT, the odor removal was 99% as presented in Table 2.
