Slurry Reactors
A slurry bioreactor: a containment vessel and apparatus used to create a three phase (solid, liquid, and gas) mixing condition to enhance the biodegradation of soil-bound and water-soluble contamination as a water slurry of the contaminated soil, sediment, or sludge and biomass usually indigenous bacteria) capable of degrading targeted contaminants.
Fixed Film Bioreactors
Fixed film bioreactors have become conventional technology for treating biodegradable contaminants in air and water. Principal fixed film bioreactor applications include treatment of industrial wastewaters, leachates or ground water, and air emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
In the reactors, biological activity usually converts contaminants to
innocuous end products such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water.
Conventional fixed film reactor approaches involve aerobic, aerobic co-
metabolic (with aliphatic and aromatic organic inducers), and anaerobic
metabolism.
Emerging reactor approaches also include sequential
anaerobic/aerobic metabolism.
