10th International Conference on Biofilm Reactors

Welcome from the Conference Chair Dear Delegates, On behalf of the organising committee it is my great pleasure welcome you to the 10th International Conference on Biofilm Reactors. Biofilm processes are central to an increasing number of biological treatment technologies. The past few decades has seen major leaps in the performance and variety of biofilm reactor technology. New biofilm processes have been successfully deployed and in this conference we will learn about these developments along with the latest thinking on emerging technologies, methodologies and biofilm fundamentals. The 2017 conference follows the format of previous IWA Biofilm Reactor conferences where the programme is designed to blend leading-edge academic research with high quality industrial case study presentations. This format allows for the beneficial exchange of ideas between practitioners and academic researchers. It will thus allow attendees to stay competitive and relevant in their professions, to discover the latest innovations, to explore collaborative opportunities and most importantly to network and make valuable connections.

The programme includes a pre-conference workshop, technical sessions, including six keynote speakers, a dedicated poster session, social events and a technical tour on the last day. We strongly encourage you to interact with delegates and participate in all the activities. The local organisers are committed to ensuring that this conference will meet the excellent standards of previous conferences in the series. Finally, I would like to thank all those who have made this conference happen including the organising and scientific committees, the IWA and our sponsors for financial support. We sincerely thank you for joining us and really hope you have a wonderful time at the conference and enjoy your stay in Dublin.

National New & High-tech Enterprise 20 years we have only one thing - develop biochemical process and equipment!

ISBAS® Process- Upgrading and Retrofitting of Wastewater Treatment

Process Advantages Economy: Save upfront investment; Simple later maintenance; Save carbon source; Less excess sludge. Stability: Stable treatment efficiency; Strong load impact resistance. Applicability: Suitable for many processes, such as A2O, SBR, Oxidation Ditch etc., Suitable for different shapes of reaction tank; Develop the process according to water changes.

The Process Core YULONG MBBR biofilm carrier: Aerobic, Anaerobic and Anoxic MBBR media 1) Scientific Formula and Quick Biofilm Formation 2) Special Surface Treatment and Large Specific Surface Area 3) Good Hydrophilicity 4) Large Biomass and Long Biologic Chain 5) Easy Fluidizaion and High Mass Transfer Efficiency

Project Experience Hydrodynamics: Under different fluidization state, recommend leak-proof, anti-blocking, anti-accumulation and anti-abrasion design proposal for MBBR media. Under different fill ratio, recommend suitable aeration system and submersible water impeller design proposal.

More than 2 million tons/day projects are under normal operation currently.
