Numerous physical, chemical, and operational factors exert a profound influence on the performance, treatment costs, and long-term stability of biofilters in wastewater treatment. To better understand the factors that impact biofiltration, An Innovative Role of Biofiltration in Wastewater Treatment Plants delves into identifying these factors, such as the hydraulic retention time of the biofiltration system, the type and characteristics of the filter and the attached biomass, and elucidates their respective influences. Furthermore, the book offers guidelines on how to control these factors to optimize the operation of biofiltration systems with respect to pollutant control in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

The core principle of treatment in biofilters revolves around the actions of pollutant-degrading microorganisms, and the book also provides in-depth discussions on the microbial ecology of biofiltration. Additionally, it explores the diverse applications of biofiltration, including the effective removal of emerging pollutants. By comprehensively examining these aspects, An Innovative Role of Biofiltration in Wastewater Treatment Plants serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers in the field of wastewater treatment, aiding in the development of more efficient and sustainable biofiltration technologies.
