Abstract

The effectiveness of a novel integrated technology of a fixed 2-bed adsorption unit followed by a biofilter, i.e., Trickle Bed Air Biofilter (TBAB), in transient toluene loading condition was studied. The overall efficiency for VOC removal was significantly increased. The integrated treatment scheme provided a consistent 99% removal level when it was coordinated with periodic biomass control such as backwashing. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AWMA's 99th Annual Conference and Exhibition (New Orleans, LA 6/20-23/2006).
