Development of Biological Aerated Filters: A Review

Biological aerated filters are wastewater‐treatment systems which contain support media for the development of a biofilm and provide oxygen at the base of the reactor for aerobic microbial processes. The origins of this type of filter date back to the early 1900s, and modern designs can provide a high level of treatment in small reactor ‘footprints’.
