For a packed-bed biofilm reactor two reactor models are proposed. One model is for the limiting case of a biofilm with a constant biofilm thickness in which diffusion within the biofilm is shown to be negligible. The second model assumes that the thickness of the biofilm is limited by the concentration of substrate within the biofilm. The analytical solutions for these reactor models are shown to agree very well with the numerical solutions to the exact differential equations.
