Using support media to assist in the growth of purifying micro-organisms is a technique which has attracted renewed interest in recent years. The advantages of biofilm reactors - smaller than traditional reactors, often not requiring settlers, etc - have motivated research into the fundamentals of biofilms and vigorous development programmes for reactors, leading to the successful introduction of large-scale plant. In this volume forty-two papers from over a dozen countries offer authoritative accounts by international experts of the latest research results plus detailed descriptions of full-scale case studies. This book will be of value to scientists, development and design engineers and plant managers who need thorough and unbiased knowledge of one of the most modern and effective techniques of biological water treatment.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the design, analysis, and operational aspects of biomass gasification, the key technology enabling the production of biofuels from all viable sources--some examples being sugar cane and switchgrass. This versatile resource not only explains the basic principles of energy conversion systems, but also provides valuable insight into the design of biomass gasifiers. The author provides many worked out design problems, step-by-step design procedures and real data on commercially operating systems. After fossil fuels, biomass is the most widely used fuel in the world. Biomass resources show a considerable potential in the long term if residues are properly handled and dedicated energy crops are grown. Includes step-by-step design procedures and case studies for Biomass GasificationProvides worked process flow diagrams for gasifier design. Covers integration with other technologies (e.g. gas turbine, engine, fuel cells)
