  • BIOFILTER MEDIA TO REMOVE ODOUR CAUSING COMPOUNDS FROM WASTE GAS STREAMS
    Publication number: 20140256021
    Abstract: A biofilter media has one or more of a set of desired physical characteristics. The set of physical characteristics includes a sphericity of 0.75 to 1, a particle size of 1 to 16 or 4 to 8 mm, a uniformity coefficient of 2 or less and a surface area of 800 to 2000 m2/m3of media. The media is coated, supports microorganisms and is used to treat a waste gas stream.

  • Biotrickling filter packing material and systems and methods of using same to remove odour causing compounds from waste gas streams
    Publication number: 20080096268
    Abstract: The present invention relates to biotrickling filter systems and the packing material employed in such systems, as well as, methods of using same to remove odour causing compounds from waste gas streams. The packing material for the biotrickling filter system includes a plurality of expanded glass granules. When used in a biotrickling filter system, the packing material is highly efficient at removing from waste gas streams hydrogen sulfide at high concentrations in low empty bed residence times.

  • Biofilter media and systems and methods of using same to remove odour causing compounds from waste gas streams
    Publication number: 20080085547
    Abstract: The present invention relates to biofilter systems and the biofilter media employed in such systems, as well as, methods of using same to remove odour causing compounds from waste gas streams. The biofilter media has a plurality of expanded glass granules. Each expanded glass granule has a coating thereon. The coating includes a bonding agent, an adsorptive agent, microorganisms and nutrients. When used in a biofilter system, the biofilter media is highly efficient at removing from waste gas streams hydrogen sulfide at high concentrations in low empty bed residence times.
