Biological waste air purification. Part 2. Purification of an industrial formaldehyde containing waste air in pilot plant scale
Abstract
Part 1 of this contribution about waste air purification published in ZFL 7-8/91 introduced the various types of waste air purification processes. Biofilters and bioscrubbers were described in detail under integration of own research results. The second part of this contribution deals with a special example of industrial waste air and its biological purification: for degradation of an industrial waste air load consisting of three carbohydrates a bioscrubber was applied. The plant was inoculated with a special starter culture of defined strains of microorganisms selected by screening. This resulted in an effective short start-up period with a high degradation rate. The degradation activity was investigated under load alternation and under ammonium limitation. At the end of the experiments the mixed culture was analysed.
