This book presents recent developments in advanced biological
treatment technologies that are attracting increasing attention
or that have a high potential for large-scale application in the
near future. It also explores the fundamental principles as well
as the applicability of the engineered bioreactors in detail.

It describes two of the emerging technologies: membrane
bioreactors (MBR) and moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR), both of
which are finding increasing application worldwide thanks to
their compactness and high efficiency. It also includes a chapter
dedicated to aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology, and
discusses the main features and applications of this promising
process, which can simultaneously remove organic matter, nitrogen
and phosphorus and is considered a breakthrough in biological
wastewater treatment.

Given the importance of removing nitrogen compounds from
wastewater, the latest advances in this area, including new
processes for nitrogen removal (e.g. Anammox), are also reviewed.

Developments in molecular biology techniques over the last twenty
years provide insights into the complex microbial diversity found
in biological treatment systems. The final chapter discusses
these techniques in detail and presents the state-of-the-art in
this field and the opportunities these techniques offer to
improve process performance.
