This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of biological filtration (biofiltration), including basic aspects of biological processes and a physical concept of a biofilm system. The presentation covers modeling and a unifying concept, pharmaceuticals removal, and membrane pretreatment. The presentation summary includes: classical and newer objectives for biofiltration include
no design criteria and the
need for a practically based modelling approach;
dimensionless contact time (X) useful unifying
parameter;
simplification and extension of X possible; biofilters can remove certain pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds;
biofiltration as a pretreatment can reduce
membrane fouling, although
further development and experimental verification
necessary; and,
the Biofiltration Factor (BF) -- a (new) possible
practically-oriented design parameter. Includes figures.
