Cocopeat is the dust from crushed coconut husks once the fibers (coir) are removed. Selecting the proper grade for use in bioreactors as components of wastewater treatment systems is important. The crushed husk fragments shown to the right are first sun dried for several days. Once dry, the fragments are fed into a shredding machine that separates the fibers.
The photo on the left shows the coir fibers. The image on the right shows the raw cocopeat waste product that is used for biofilter construction. It contains between 10% and 30% fibers and larger particles of the coconut shell.

Images of cocopeat from Vietnam. It is the raw cocopeat material with some fibers and pieces of shell. This material is currently being tested in the Duke University cocopeat trials.
