BIOFERMENTOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF BIOLOGICALLY CONVERTIBLE MATTER

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for treating biologically convertible matter by contacting same with microorganisms deposited and immobilized on support carriers. The apparatus is made of a bioreactor comprising three sections, namely a distribution chamber, a bioreactor chamber and a collection chamber. The bioreactor chamber comprise s the above mentioned support carriers that are resistant against biodegradation. The modular bioreactor does not require mechanical aeration and may operate continuously, therefore reducing operation costs.
