TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
By immobilising bacteria as biofilm on floating carriers and using creative mixing strategy, this low-energy bioreactor consumes 20% of energy compared with the conventional biological treatment system. It can capture over 90% of carbon from sewage to produce biogas as renewable energy while occupying 30% of the conventional system’s footprint.
