      After 6 months of operation a long-term biofilter was stopped for two weeks and then it was started up again for a second experimental period of almost 1.3 years, with high toluene loads and submitted to several physical ...
    • Biofiltration of waste gases in a reactor with a split-feed 

      Mendoza, J.A.; Veiga, María Carmen; Kennes, Christian (Wiley-Blackwell, 2003-06)
      The efficiency of using different feed strategies was evaluated in the case of a gas-phase biofilter packed with an inert carrier material. During a preliminary control-period, the biofilter was first fed with a single ...
    • Hydrodynamic behaviour and comparison of technologies for the removal of excess biomass in gas-phase biofilters 

      Mendoza, J.A.; Prado Rubianes, Óscar Jesús; Veiga, María Carmen; Kennes, Christian (Elsevier, 2004)
      The hydrodynamic behaviour of a biofilter fed toluene and packed with an inert carrier was evaluated on start-up and after long-term operation, using both methane and styrene as tracers in Residence Time Distribution ...
    • Inert filter media for the biofiltration of waste gases – characteristics and biomass control 

      Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (Springer, 2002)
      Soil biofilters and related systems based onthe use of natural filter beds have been usedfor several years for solving specific airpollution problems. Over the past decade,significant improvements have been brought tothese ...
    • Performance of a fungal monolith bioreactor for the removal of styrene from polluted air 

      Rene, Eldon R.; López, M. Estefanía; Veiga, María Carmen; Kennes, Christian (Elsevier, 2010-04)
      Gas-phase styrene removal using the fungus, Sporothrix variecibatus was evaluated in a novel monolith bioreactor, receiving a continuous supply of nutrients from the trickling liquid phase. During the start-up process, ...
