Slide 5: What Is Biofiltration?
What Is Biofiltration? ¾ Removal and destruction of odorous compounds in contaminated or foul air ¾ Occurs on a fixed bed of filter media ¾ Media has microbiologically active surface area ¾ Reduces odors and VOCs to H2O and CO2 ¾ Complete destruction (not phase transfer) ¾ Self regenerating ¾ No was
Slide 6: Dynamics of Biofiltration Efficiency & Kinetics
Dynamics of Biofiltration Efficiency & Kinetics Kinetics (determines removal efficiency) ¾ Biodegradability & Biodegradation Rate Residence Time (determines biofilter size) ¾ Solubility & Solubilization Rate ¾ Conventional Biofilter (2 steps) ¾ Solubilization-Biodegradation ¾ BIOSORBENSTM Biofilter
Slide 7: Desired Air Quality & Optimum Design Parameters
Desired Air Quality & Optimum Design Parameters ¾ Temperature - 12°C/50°F - 38°C/110°F ¾ pH - 6-8 ¾ RH - 98% ¾ Low particulate loading ¾ Known contaminant concentration ¾ Selection of best (inorganic) Media ¾ Location & space for system ¾ Monitoring & service contract 1-800-353-2087
