Abstract

Anthropogenic sources of methane include landfills and wastewater treatment facilities. Legislation dealing with generation and treatment of gases and odours (EC, 2005) is increasingly stringent. Horizontal Flow Biofilm Reactors (HFBRs) have been used to treat domestic (Rodgers and Clifford, 2009) and dairy wastewater (Rodgers et al., 2007). The HFBR flow regime ensures contact between wastewater and biofilm, alleviating problems of clogging, channelling, compaction and pressure drop. Three HFBRs were designed to treat low CH4 concentrations at 10°C. Oxidation activity, as well as the diversity and distribution of species, were determined to assess the efficiency of the novel systems.
