✦ Synopsis

An overview of bioreactor applications in treatment of gaseous, liquid and solid wastes is presented with emphasis on newer technologies. Waste treatment is considered in a broad context including concentration by bioaccumulation, degradation to substances with reduced environmental impact and upgrading to such useful products as feeds, foods and fuels. Biofilters and bioscrubbers for gaseous pollutants, high-rate municipal and industrial wastewater treatment in airlift bioreactors, reactor-based soil bioremediation, artificial wetland filters for liquid effluents, and protein enrichment of agricultural solid residues are some of the technologies reviewed. The various treatment strategies are illustrated with examples. The developments discussed point to an increasing role for bioreaetor based processes in waste treatment and reuse.

This paper describes a novel, biological wastewater treatment process which uses a bioreactor of immobilised biomass coupled with a crossflow microfilter. Plant trials on domestic wastewater have demonstrated that an effluent BOD, of c Sppm (98% removal efficiency) and suspended solids of Oppm can b
