Application of Biofilm in Porous Media

Iran lies in tropical climate while global worldwide warming and subsequent draughts in recent several years intensified the notion of climatology, consequently optimal quality of urban and industrial water received more crucial considerations as though it is necessary to set more precaution over water consumption trends, meanwhile utilizing treated wastewater with eliciting convenient strategies for optimum consumption is sensible critically.The current paper represents two strategies by utilization of biofilm in solid surfaces (technology of biobarrier formation and trickling filter technology). Stepwise biofilm formation in these two areas is also explained and practical mathematical modeling in addition to present process employed is discussed in detail. The present paper reviews the employment of biofilm formation to upgrade the production of various industries such as petroleum, mineral, metallurgical, ceramic and hydrological facilities.The concept of biofilm, due to its increased growth of prostheses utilization in medical applications improves bacterial replication and colonies in body as though to threat the health & life even causing fatality, therefore the process of biofilm replication shall be manifested in positive and negative perspectives.
