Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for biological treatment which carries out decomposition of organic impurities by microorganisms thereof (water to be processed) in water purification or refinement processing.

- the aeration commonly used in the market are "porous aeration device” which produces tiny bubbles and “bulk-flow aerator” that produces air flow which may disperse the bubbles.
- this system has the following problems among others; the flow of bubble packing on the biological carrier causes violent disturbance which in turn causing microorganisms to have difficulties attaching to the bio-carrier packing layer.
- this system causes differences in the bio-mechanical stability of the fill vector and the biological carrier supporting the fill material is prone to fatigue strength. Thus, this will cause inefficiency in the level of biological degradation of substrates followed by damage of processing unit.
- Another problem of this system is that the flow pattern of biological carrier packed layer is not at satisfactory level. Besides that, great flow resistance in horizontal direction and presence of areas of stagnant water cause desired effect for mass transfer unable to be achieved. These lead to uneven growth of many regional biofilm, thus causing inefficiency of degradation and removal of organic matter. As a result, it affects the auto renewal of biofilm, which may in turn causes further deterioration of the biological carrier packing layer, thus resulting in treatment plant malfunction. Due to the existence of above mentioned problems, this causes difficulties in improving efficiency of contact oxidation pond as well as difficulties in doing maintenance and management work.
