[Modeling of the evolution of a water-remedying biofilm with consideration for its erosion].
A model is proposed that describes the growth and destruction of a biofilm due to the consumption of contaminants dissolved in the water being purified. The mathematical solution involves equations describing the balance of biomass, the delivery and uptake of substrate, and the dynamics of biofilm thickness. The effect of erosion on the characteristics of the steady-state regime was shown. The concentrations of the substrate and biomass, the flow of the substrate into the film, and changes in biofilm thickness were calculated.
