OPTIMIZATION OF BIOFILTRATION FOR ODOR CONTROL : MODEL CALIBRATION, VALIDATION, AND APPLICATIONS

Biofiltration of malodorous air. In the case of hydrogen sulfide produce by wastewater treatment plants, a dynamic model that describes a biofilter is calibrated and validated. Influence of temperature, inlet concentrations, residence time is well-described in pilot and full-scale biofilters. These results allow to design operating bilofilter for controlling odorous and hazardous air emissions.
