The Davis- Standard Euro Blue has been a solid per- former for Warden due to its energy effi- cient design, high specifications and fast delivery. Warden has 60 and 90mm Euro Blue models, but the machine is also available in 50mm, 75mm and 115mm sizes. The biological filter media manufactured on these extruders is feasible for both indu- stry and municipal wastewater treatment applications requiring organic removal, nitrification and denitrification. Warden’s products are lightweight, compact, dura- ble and corrosion resistant, and designed to eliminate the clogging and puddling n The formidable growth of Warden Plastics’ Biomedia product range is evi- denced by the company’s rising reputati- on in the global wastewater treatment sector. Warden, based in Luton, Bedford- shire, United Kingdom, recently added two Davis-Standard Euro Blue ® extruders to its equipment line-up for producing random filter media products for waste- water processes. The extruders are part of a significant investment by Warden following a surge in demand by major water companies in the U.K. and throughout Europe. This brings the com- pany’s Davis-Standard extruder total to five with future investments on the hori- zon. According to Warden Plastics’ Managing Director Mark Barrett, “We are focused on high volumes, efficiency and quality for a large range of polypropylene pro- ducts for the wastewater treatment mar- ket. Davis-Standard’s Euro Blue extruders perform exceptionally well in meeting our delivery and process targets, while also allowing us to run a cost-effective operation. We have a very good working relationship with Davis-Standard, and appreciate their responsiveness in ad- dressing our requirements.” Warden runs a customized Biomedia operation with a variety of patented de- signs engineered to reduce energy con- sumption, meet environmental goals and reduce costs. The company’s products are made using recycled and virgin poly- propylene, which is essential due to su- perior bacterial adhesion properties when compared to competing products made with HDPE. Warden is diversified into several product areas, but launched its Biomedia brand in the 1980s. The company has an ongoing research part- nership with Warwick University and Two more Extruders added associated with gravel, slag and clinker filter beds. In addition to wastewater treatment facilities, Warden’s Biomedia products are also used for agricultural and aquatic applications. Most of the company’s products are sold in the U.K. and Europe, but are also reaching custo- mers in North and South America, Mexi- co and Turkey.
