Summary<br />

• ARB are fast consumers of BOD, potentially faster than<br />

aerobic organisms.<br />

• The main challenges in MXC implementation lie within the<br />

engineering design.<br />

• MXCs are currently tested for field-scale applications and<br />

this will lead to implementation in the near future.<br />

• A fundamental understanding of the chemical and biological<br />

processes is needed to design a feasible and efficient MXC.
