biofilm reactor

A biofilm reactor is a type of water treatment system that uses microorganisms attached to surfaces to break down pollutants. These microorganisms form a slimy layer called a biofilm, which efficiently absorbs and metabolizes contaminants from water. The reactor provides a controlled environment where water flows over or through these biofilms, allowing the microorganisms to clean the water naturally. This method is energy-efficient, effective at removing organic substances, and often used in wastewater management and environmental cleanup. It mimics natural processes, making it an eco-friendly solution for purifying water.
