  • BIOLFILM BIOREACTOR INCLUDING THERMAL MANAGEMENT AND SUBSTANCE DELIVERY ELEMENTS, RELATED APPARATUS, AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20260035718
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to bioreactors, for example for biological treatment and, more specifically to bioreactor insert apparatus including temperature control and substance delivery elements. The temperature control elements include conduits to circulate a thermal or working fluid and provide a means to locally maintain a biofilm support and biofilm thereon at a temperature promoting growth of the biofilm microorganisms. The conduits for temperature control can further serve as substance delivery elements, providing a means for selective transport and biofilm-localized delivery of growth-promoting substances in the circulating thermal fluid. The temperature control and substance delivery elements can increase the overall reaction rate of the bioreactor.
