Abstract
A biological reactor and media members wherein the reactor is made up of a hollow drum having end shields with openings in the drum periphery so that liquid can flow through the drum periphery. The drum is supported by outwardly extending shafts attached to end shields and no shaft section is disposed inside the drum. Hemispherical shaped hollow media members with internal ribs are supported in the drum for bacteria to form on and legs are attached to the outside of the hollow media members to engage other media members and thus, providing further agitation. About forty percent (40%) of the drum is disposed in the liquid.
