Biofilm reactors in anaerobic wastewater treatment.

Attached biofilm reactors provide the means for implementing energy-efficient anaerobic wastewater treatment at full scale. Progress has been made in the development of fixed, expanded and fluidized bed anaerobic processes by addressing fundamental reactor design issues. Several new biofilm reactor concepts have evolved from recent studies.
