Hello I'm Richard from Turn Valley Quacks and behind me here is the newest moving bed folder that I've come up with. The signs are quite a few of the problems associated with previous ones. Obviously it isn't a proper two-wield vessel, it's a shampoo bottle but because of the curved nature of the top of the shampoo bottle it doesn't trap any air there so you're tend not to get problems with the filter shaken itself loose and this one also has an integrated form which helps trap a lot of the muck before it gets to the media. The media in here is actually a new sort of media. It's a ceramic scented glass media instead of a normal plastic K1 and because of the nature of the media it doesn't move like the K1, the K1 all crashes together. If this stuff crashes together it's going to wear away so this moves very very gently. It more or less vibrates and the media doesn't crush it each other. There's still a good flow of water and air over the media and the media still is bumping into each other so you still should get a very vigorous form of bacteria grown in this filter. This is looking through the side of the tank so it's actually looking at the front of the filter and at first glance it's not really a moving bed filter but when I zoom in a little bit see that all the bits of hybrid and so the air line comes in the bottom. The bottom of this black section's got loads of holes in to allow the water to get sucked in the bottom as the air is being expelled out at the top it sucks water in the bottom. It's the form which strains out a lot of the heavy muck and then the water passes through the media. Where the air is coming out there in the top of the form there's actually a tee piece so it directs the air to two different places so you get a really good coverage of air. Therefore all the media moves through the air bubbles passing right through all the media and they're being spooked straight out the top with no air collecting in the top at all. Because of the nature of the media compared to the standard plastic moving bed medias I was kind of forced to more or less fill the whole container here to stop the media crashing into each other and therefore smashing this stuff to bits and when I first realized that too much movement could actually cause the media to disintegrate and bear in mind this is just a prototype media they are working on a way to make it harder. This being a ceramic media if the different parts of media crash together too hard they can break up the media hence of more or less fill this container with media to prevent that happening. This is actually a bonus because the container has a real maximum capacity of media in there whereas if I was using K1 I might only be able to fit 60-70% full so there's obviously going to be a lot more media in contact with the water in this sort of filter. I think the next logical step is to develop this it is something that can be mass-produced. After initially being disappointed that this couldn't really have the same sort of dramatic effect as the K1 I'm actually very pleased because the vessel can be pretty much filled with media and it can still be just as effective if not more effective than the K1. Certainly it's massively increased surface area when compared to K1 should make it a hell of a lot more efficient than standard moving bed filters. It actually looks quite attractive as well and bear in mind this is just a shampoo bottle. Get it close up of the top there you can see that now there's no air collecting in the top at all. That really works very well just from having a simple curve on the top of the bottle. In the first video I did about the actual making of this filter how just quickly run through how it works. There's a hole drilled in the bottom here which passes through the middle of the form there's a tee piece on the top of the air line to prevent it being pulled out with the form and also it means that it delivers air in two different places at once which gives you a good floor through the media. The bottom of the filter has been drilled around here so that when the air is being pumped through here and expelled through these holes, waters pulled up through here, mucks trapped in the form and then the water continues up as well as all around in here in the media does its job. With the top of this bottle being curved the air comes up and it doesn't collect in the top it's just spacked straight out of here. I've actually fixed two big suckers to the back of here so it fits on the tank and doesn't move.
