In fixed-bed (FXB) biological processes (including biologically active filtration
systems), biofilms develop on a stationary bed of media, such as sand, anthracite, or
granular activated carbon. As the microbial community oxidizes and reduces dissolved
constituents, stationary gradients of redox potential develop across the depth of the bed
and across a given biofilm. These redox gradients make FXB bioreactors
particularly suitable for destroying a wide variety of contaminants, often within a single
bioreactor. This paper lists the breadth of contaminants that can be removed through the
FXB bioreactor process and describes two related case studies. Includes 24 references, figure.
