<p>An effluent treatment process is provided in which effluent is introduced in to a bioreactor chamber to submerge a fixed matrix that is positioned within the bioreactor chamber and defines surfaces for colonisation by aerobic bacteria and air bubbles are passed upwards through the effluent. The process further includes the steps of passing very fine air bubbles between substantially all of the surfaces of the matri x, using the passage of the very fine air bubbles to mix all of the effluent, and exposin g all of the aerobic bacteria continuously to the mixed effluent containing the very fine air bubbles.</p> |
