A small, immobilized bed, microbe bioreactor.  1, record 1, English, - bioplug

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The bioreactor "plug" is made of slotted PVC pipe which is screw cap sealed at each end. Each plug is loaded with an inert porous material which serves as a structural support matrix for the microorganisms. The seed cultures in the bioplugs are a mixture of microorganisms selected for their abilities to biodegrade the contaminants of concern... The bioplugs are strategically inserted into the contaminated zone(s). Liquids then flow through the plugs by a pressure gradient created using compressed air. This flow acts to accelerate the movement of ground or irrigation water through the immobilized bed; thereby, facilitating the mineralization of organics within the aqueous phase and the bulk generation of biomass which bleeds off the bed.  1, record 1, English, - bioplug

... the widely accepted theory of friction ... is that the best possible bearing material would be one which is fairly hard and resistant but which has an overlay of a soft metal that is easily deformed.  2, record 4, English, - bearing%20material

There are many different bearing materials. A large group of nonferrous bearing alloys has a soft, plastic matrix in which wear-resistant particles are embedded.... Copper alloys form another large group... aluminum alloys with special bearing qualities have found increased use. Other bearing materials include cadmium, silver, cast iron, porous bronze, ceramics, cermets..., and some very hard metals.  3, record 4, English, - bearing%20material
