Monitoring and modelling a pilot-scale trickling filter using on-line off-gas analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The process characteristics of a pilot-scale trickling filter system were quantified by means of a measurement campaign with the use of off-gas analysis. A load shift experiment was conducted in which the influent load to the trickling filter system was suddenly decreased. To model the biodegradation in the filters, the model developed by Rauch et al. (1999) was used. This model was extended with equations for the production and the pH-dependent liquid phase equilibrium for inorganic carbon (IC).

A pilot-scale trickling filter has been constructed in order to collect experimental data on a fully characterized biofilm system for the selection, development, calibration and corroboration of mathematical models which describe such a system’s dynamic behavior. The design of the unit was made such that it allows a full characterization of the relevant model parameters, and an easy monitoring ...
متن کاملTreatment of Dairy Wastewater Using Pilot Scale Tricking Filter
A pilot scale trickling filter and secondary sedimentation are used to evaluate the feasibility of this process for the treatment of raw dairy waste. The BOD in the raw waste of 252 to 1200 mg/l is reduced 50-73% by a single stage and a further 17-55% by sedimentation tank. Treatment efficiencies are determined at various waste strengths and influent flow rates. With a loading rate of 5-12 kg B...
متن کاملInduction of denitrification in a pilot-scale trickling filter by adding nitrate at high loading rate.
Oxygen transferred from the liquid phase into a biofilm can be used for aerobic degradation of organic matter and for nitrification. A second possible pathway for the removal of organic matter is denitrification in anoxic zones deeper in the biofilm. At high organic loading rates with insufficient oxygen supply to the biofilm, denitrification could be induced by providing the biofilm with exter...

Introduction:Among the pollutants in waste gases, volatile organic carbons (VOCs) are very harmful for human, animals and plants. Formaldehyde is a member of VOCs family and is very toxic, mutagen and carcinogen. For removing formaldehyde, Some biological methods for treating waste gases such as bio-trickling filter reactor (BTFR) have been developed by scientists. The aim of this study was to ...
