Abstract: This study evaluated the ability of a slip feed system to maintain the pollutant-degrading activity of biomass in a vapor phase bioreactor during periods of little or no contaminant feed. Three slip feed fractions (1, 5, ...

Abstract: Biofiltration, a process in which contaminated air is passed through a biologically active bed, can be used to remove volatile organic pollutants from air streams. While most biofilters rely on bacteria to degrade organic ...

Abstract: Biological processes, most notably biofilters and biotrickling filters, are increasingly used to remove and biodegrade a wide variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in gas streams emitted from industrial ...

Abstract: Vapor phase bioreactors are receiving increasing attention as a cost-effective treatment method for air contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this study, a novel absorption and humidification system was ...
