Despite its advantages, biological filtration also faces certain challenges:
Biofilm Management: Over time, biofilms can become too thick, reducing the efficiency of the filtration process and requiring regular maintenance. Pathogen Resistance: Some microorganisms may develop resistance to the filtration process, necessitating ongoing research and adaptation of methods. Operational Conditions: The effectiveness of biological filtration can be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and nutrient availability.
