  • Spouted Bed Bio-Reactor System
    Publication number: 20150056692
    Abstract: The invention describes a novel spouted bed bioreactor system (SBBS) for the removal of Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl-benzene, o-,m-,p-Xylene (BTEX) from a contaminated air stream. Organic-degrading bacteria, Pseudomonas Putida, were immobilized in Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) matrices and utilized to degrade the BTEX in a specially-designed bioreactor system. The performance of the reactor system for the continuous biodegradation of BTEX in a contaminated air stream at different conditions was optimized.
