The trickling filter process is widely used for biological wastewater treatment all over the world.  It is an attached growth biological wastewater treatment process.  The aerobic microorganisms grow on a solid medium and the wastewater to be treated flows through the bed.  A flow diagram for a typical single stage trickling filter wastewater treatment plant is shown in the diagram below.  The diagram shows the typical flow pattern through the primary clarifier, trickling filter and secondary clarifier.
