The support material (27) in the reactor is uniformly subjected, over the height of the reactor bed, to a gas flow ensuring supply and evacuation. The biological film reactor (22) can be fed with oxygen, hydrogen and/or carbon dioxide. The reactor (22) is in the form of a fluidized bed and has an inlet (42) near the floor of the reactor and an outlet (33) near the top. Located in the fluidized bed (32) between a distribution network (4) for the inlet water and the outlet (33) is a material exchanger (15) consisting of a support frame (20) on which is fitted a thin-walled pipe (26) of roughly helicoidal shape, made of non-porous plastic and having its turns (34) spaced at intervals. The pipe is connected to a gas supply device (35). An absorber (12) can be connected to the gas supply line (36). Furthermore, between the outlet (33) and the inlet (42) it is possible to fit a recirculation line (43) with an additional material exchanger (23) in which a gas is fed to the recycling water via exchange surfaces consisting of a non-porous plastic.

Process for elimination of undesired water components from water by means of flooded biofilm reactors having a reactor bed with reactor support material, wherein water is supplied into the reactor via a distribution system and a gas is constantly admitted to the reactor support material over the full height of the whole reactor bed, wherein the admitted gas is a gas required by a biofilm on the reactor support material, is admitted to the reactor support material and released metabolic end products are withdrawn from the reactor support material by means of a first substance exchanger formed of a liquid impermeable synthetic material that is reinforced by a textile and surrounded by the reactor support material, wherein water is withdrawn from the biofilm reactor for recirculation and a gas from the group consisting of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide is supplied to the recirculation water through a second substance exchanger formed of a textile reinforced nonporous synthetic material and the recirculation water then returned to the biofilm reactor, and wherein undesired gas and volatile components are separated and removed from the reactor and passed through an absorber unit.
