Biofihn concentrations attached onto the surface of the sands and gravels in the aerobic tank were measured at 120 different location of the constructed wetland at different times (6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months). The concentrations of the biofilm increased continuously upto 6 month operation, but thereafter remained almost imchanged upto 24 months. Figure 7 and 8 show the concentrations and distributions of biofilms attached onto the the surface of the sands and gravels of the aerobic tank, respectively. The attached biofilm was well distributed over the aerobic tank, and the total volume of the attached biofilm occupied just about 0.5% of the initial void volume of the aerobic tank.

Mathematical modeling can help us understand and design MBfRs. Several researchers have developed mathematical models to further understand processes occurring in membrane-attached biofilms and how operating conditions affect performance. Most modeling efforts have focused on the oxygen-based MBfR.
