Title:
Fundamentals of Biofilm Reactor Design and Operation
Description:
This session serve as an introduction to biofilm reactors: the technologies, the applications, and the drivers for selection. The session will illustrate how biofilm technologies can provide process intensification and support unique microbial ecologies. Design and operational considerations for biofilm reactors will be covered. There will be an interactive component, where attendees will be exposed to biofilm reactor design considerations and key performance indicators for an MBBR. The session is intended to be an overview and will make recommendations on where the attendee where can expand their learning.Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Provide an understanding of biofilm reactor technologies and where they are applied at the wastewater treatment plant.
2. Explain how these technologies can help a facility upgrade while maximizing the use of existing infrastructure.
3. Name design and operational considerations that are unique to biofilm technologies.
