INTRODUCTION

QUANICS

TM

  

is committed to becoming the best water solutions problem solver in the world. We prom-

ise to provide complete engineered water solutions using the latest technology and best products. We 

will provide the best technical assistance and customer service available and we will always deliver 

more than we promise.

In our quest to serve our market, we do not view a technology as the one and only option, but rather 

look to develop a wide variety of technologies that the engineer and/or end user can tailor to their 

individual application. Along this line, we are proud to introduce two NSF Certified treatment systems, 

SCAT

®

 AeroCell

®

 and SCAT Bio-COIR

®

Both systems operate as fixed-film media filters to treat wastewater. The patented SCAT delivery system 

is the same for each system only the media is different. Each media type has its own unique properties 

and both have been tested and listed under NSF International Standard 40 Class 1 requirements. Both 

systems have also been demonstrated to significantly reduce total nitrogen. The following manual will 

explain the differences and similarities of each system.  Before reading this manual determine which sys-

tem you are currently utilizing by examining the data plate attached to the system lid.  Each system will 
be identified by name “AeroCell” or “Bio-COIR

.

This manual covers the following model numbers.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The QUANICS AeroCell & Bio-COIR are individual wastewater treatment systems utilizing fixed film 

media. The module(s) consist of a fiberglass tank(s) containing a pre-determined amount of media. Ef-

fluent is sprayed over the media utilizing specialized spay nozzles. This patented delivery system evenly 

distributes wastewater to achieve the desired treatment levels.

The AeroCell utilizes open cell foam media. The foam has a high porosity, large surface area and ease 

of microbial attachment that allows for loading rates up to ten times that of sand. Open cell foam has 

a fifteen year track record of treating wastewater to the highest quality treatment levels. The application 

rates for the AeroCell system have been carefully selected to provide optimal treatment and performance 

in a long lasting media.

The Bio-COIR utilizes a patent pending Bio-COIR media for treatment.  The Bio-COIR media is com-

posed of fibers that constitutes the thick mesocarp, or husk, of the coconut fruit. The long fibers are used 

for ropes, door mats etc, leaving pith tissue and short to medium length fibers as a waste which has ac-

cumulated in heaps in many third world countries.  The short to medium length Bio-COIR fibers used in 

Bio-COIR are a lingocellulosic material. The high lignin content of these fibers results in a more durable 

material than other natural medias. The high lignin content of 45.84% also results in a slower degrada-

tion of the media and assures that excellent water/air ratio is maintained over a longer period of time.

In both AeroCell & Bio-COIR systems, pretreatment of the wastewater occurs through the use of a septic 

tank equipped with a QUANICS A300 series effluent filter on the outlet. The pretreated wastewater then 

moves into a dosing tank where an effluent pump doses the wastewater to the treatment module(s). The 

dosing of effluent occurs in short frequent doses over a 24-hour period utilizing a timed dosed control 

panel. Effluent is sprayed over the media through the use of specially designed helical spray nozzles that 

provide uniform distribution of the effluent over the entire surface area.
