Abstract
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.
