Trickling filter consists of a fixed biological bed of rock media or plastic media on which wastewater is applied for aerobic biological treatment. Biological slimes form on the media which assimilate and oxidize substances in the wastewater. This chapter introduces the historical development, recent advances, principles, applicability, microbiology, ecology, models, types, design criteria, and case studies of this attached-growth trickling filter process.
