Maximum Surface Area Biofilter

Biofilters filter contaminants by using fungi, bacteria, and other micro-organisms that form a biofilm to trap contaminants as the fluid flows through.

This is used in air pollution control, water purification, and more.

So, intuitively, to maximize the contaminants trapped, the water must contact as much of the biofilm as possible——in other words, the filter must maximize surface area.

So my goal is to:

• create a 3D CAD model of a Biofilter that maximizes surface area for most efficient filtering of fluid
