A treatment process for municipal, commercial, industrial, and institutional fluids containing one or more substances in a first concentration includes a contactor, an aerator, and a separator. The fluid is mixed in a contactor with powdered natural lignocellulosic material (“PNLM”), a microbial growth inoculum, and at least a portion of the fluid to provide a mixture comprising an acclimatized microbial growth established in the fluid. The mixture comprises a second concentration of at least a portion of the one or more substances in the fluid discharged from the aerator, wherein physical binding and chemical bonding of at least a portion of the one or more substances to the PNLM, further physiological uptake by microbial growth in the biosludge, is achieved at a second concentration. It is introduced into the aerator that reduces to The biosludge is separated to return at least a portion of the regenerated PNLM to the contactor.
