Bioreactors based on immobilized cells

For purification of oil-containing sewage water of oil-proceeding enterprises it has been elaborated by authors the laboratory bioreactor on the basis of immobilized mycelial Mucor miehei fungus cells with periodical and constant supply of purified solution. The purification process is tested on model and real oil-containing liquid wastes. It has been established that under true bioreactor exploitation, 1 g of Mucor miehei immobilized cells enables to purify more than 100 L of sewage water, containing 0.1-0.15% of lipid substances.
