The review presented in this paper focuses on applications of particulate biofilm reactors (e.g. Upflow Sludge Blanket, Biofilm Fluidized Bed, Expanded Granular Sludge Blanket, Biofilm Airlift Suspension, Internal Circulation reactors). Several full-scale applications for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment are presented and illustrated, and their most important design and operation aspects (e.g. biofilm formation, hydrodynamics, mass transfer, mixing) are analysed and discussed. It is clear from the review that this technology can be considered a grown up technology for which good design and scale-up guidelines are available.
本文所呈现的综述聚焦于颗粒生物膜反应器的应用（例如上流式污泥床、生物膜流化床、膨胀颗粒污泥床、生物膜气升悬浮反应器、内循环反应器）。文中介绍并说明了市政和工业废水处理的几个实际应用案例，并对其最重要的设计和运行方面（例如生物膜形成、流体动力学、传质、混合）进行了分析和讨论。从综述中可以清楚地看出，这项技术可被视为一项成熟的技术，已有完善的设计和放大准则。
