High throughput biofiltration for odour control at water purification plant
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] A high throughput trickling biofilter for odour control was designed basing on the principles of biotrickling filter technology developed in Moscow Bakh Institute of Biochemistry. All the necessary blocks except ... -
Development of a family of large-scale biothechnological processes to desukphurise industrial gases
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] In this paper an overview is given of a new biotechnological process to remove hydrogen sulphide from gas streams. This process is jointly developed by Wageningen University, Delft University of Technology, ... -
Long-term stability of Pseudomonas putida cultures suring the off-gas treatment of toluene
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] The long term stability of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 and Pseudomonas putida F1, bacteria harbouring the genes responsible for toluene biodegradation in the plasmid pWW0 and in the chromosome, respectively, was ... -
Solid-Liquid two-phase partitioning bioreactors for the treatment of gas.-phase VOCs
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] Two-Phase Partitioning Bioreactors (TPPBs) consist of a cell-containing aqueous phase and a separate, biocompatible and immiscible phase that partitions toxic substrates to the cells based on their metabolic ... -
Refurbishment of an odour collection and biofilter treatment system at a municipal solid waste composting facility in Perth, Western Australia
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] This paper discusses a case study at a large, regional Municipal Solid Waste composting plant in Perth, Western Australia, where odour emissions from the facility have resulted in adverse odour impacts in the ... -
Microbial solvent regeneration in biotreatment of air contaminated by styrene
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] In this study, the biodegradation of a styrene-polluted waste gas in a reactor containing 5 L of a biphasic mixture (10:90% v/v) of organic solvent (silicone oil) – water – biomass was investigated to establish ... -
Biodegradation of methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isopropyl ketone in a composite bead biofilter
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] Biodegradation of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl isopropyl ketone (MIPK) in a composite bead biofilter was investigated. Both microbial growth rate kg and biochemical reaction rate kd would be inhibited ... -
Continuous monitoring of odours at a biofilter outlet
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] The experience matured in the field of biofiltration applied to odour removal enabled to study the correlation between some of the characteristic parameters of the biofilter bed (e.g. T, RH, ?P) with the emitted ... -
Menbrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) as a tool for evaluating biological air filters in agriculture
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) is presented as a new tool for monitoring the removal efficiency of biofilters with respect to odour compounds. The MIMS technique is based on the separation of volatile ... -
Removal of odour and ammnia in ventilation air from growing-finishing pig units using vertical biofilters
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of odour and ammonia from outlet air using vertical biofilters in two units with growing-finishing pigs in the winter. Woodchips were used as media in the ... -
Artificial neural network based model for evaluating performance of immobilized cell biofilter
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are powerful data driven modelling tools which has the potential to approximate and interpret complex input/output relationships based on the given sets of data matrix. In this ... -
Modeling of fungal biofilter for the abatement of hydropic VOCs
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] This work describes the growth of filamentous fungi in biofilters for the degradation of hydrophobic VOCs. The study system was n-hexane and the fungus Fusarium solani B1. The system is mathematically described ... -
Control of methane emissions issuing from lanffills: the Canadian case
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] During their storage in landfills, wastes are biodegraded, which results in the production of biogas and leachate. Over recent years, the handling of the leachate product has become one of major concern. However, ... -
Study of a desulfurization process to convert dibenzothiophene to 2-hydroxybiphenyl by Rhodococcus rhodochrous NRRL (B-2149)
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] Actually, a great effort is being given to research on biodesulfurization processes, i.e., processes in which sulfur can be removed selectively from sulfur-compound moities without altering its British thermal ... -
Removal of dichloromethane from waste gases using a fixed-bed biotrickling filter and a continuous stirred tank bioreactor
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] A laboratory scale fixed bed biotrickling filter (BTF) and a continuous stirred tank bioreactor (CSTB) have been studied and compared for the elimination of dichloromethane from waste gases. The DCM removal ... -
Behaviour and optimization of a novel monolith bioreactor for wasre gas treatment
(Universidade da Coruña, 2007)[Abstract] Treatment of waste gases in bioreactors is cost-effective and environmental-friendly compared to the conventional techniques used for treating large flow rates of gas streams with low concentrations of pollutants. ... -
