SPX Cooling Technologies Marley MarPak MXF 3000 - Manual (Page 4)

MARPAK is a modular PVC corrugated media
specifically designed for biological treatment
applications. MARPAK media is manufactured
from rigid PVC sheets that are UV protected
and resistant to rot, fungi, bacteria, acids
and alkalies commonly found in wastewater.
MARPAK modules are manufactured in various
sheet thicknesses to meet specific structural
requirements. MARPAK includes a full range of
modular PVC media geometries for wastewater
treatment including - complete secondary
treatment (Figs. 8-1 and 8-2), nitrification (Fig.
9-1), denitrification, industrial roughing filters and
anaerobic treatment.

Faster Installation
Extensive testing has proven that taller mod-
ules produce the same water distribution as
alternating 1'-0 modules. This means 4 ft, 6 ft,
or even 8 ft modules can be used to reduce
installation time and minimize the number of
clog-prone module interfaces.
