Gr. Dehollander et al., PERFORMANCE OF A SUSPENDED-GROWTH BIOSCRUBBER FOR THE CONTROL OF METHANOL, Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 48(9), 1998, pp. 872-876
An experimental study is presented on the control of methanol emission
s using a single-stage, laboratory-scale, suspended-growth bioscrubber
. The inlet concentration was 50 or 100 ppm,. The bioscrubber was oper
ated for over 80 days at a solids residence time of either one or two
days. The overall removal efficiency of the scrubber with biomass rang
ed from 69.0 to 81.0%. The efficiency increased with the liquid flow r
ate. Model simulations were in good agreement With the data.
