The Effect Of Periodic Operation On Biofilters For Removal Of Methyl Ethyl Ketone From Contaminated Air, Charles William Norman
The Effect Of Periodic Operation On Biofilters For Removal Of Methyl Ethyl Ketone From Contaminated Air, Charles William Norman
LSU Master's Theses
In recent years, biofiltration technology has been used at numerous locations worldwide as an air pollution control technology for treating gases contaminated with low concentrations of biodegradable volatile organic compounds (VOCs). At the same time, there have been many reports in the literature of contaminant emissions from biofilters during transient loading conditions. There is currently a need to develop methods for controlling such emissions. Periodically operated bioreactors have been used successfully in treatment of wastewater and soils for several decades to mitigate the effects of uncontrolled unsteady-state loading on waste treatment systems. Such operating strategies have only recently been applied …
