摘要

While biofiltration has proven to be an effective tool in controlling odor emissions, it has had limited application in the control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from industrial processes where Best Available Control Technology (BACT) must be applied. This study evaluated the effectiveness of biofiltration as a control for VOC emissions from a chemical batch processing plant. The study was conducted over a twelve-week period starting in late August and ending in early November. The study was designed to evaluate the destruction removal efficiency (DRE) of a biofilter system for three compounds of interest: methanol, acetone, and toluene with the intent of demonstrating if a biofilter could meet BACT for VOC control. Biofilter technology was chosen for evaluation as an alternative to traditional thermal technologies due to its potential for lower annual operating costs and for decreased combustion emissions. The pilot equipment utilized in this pilot study included; the biofilter pilot unit, a temporary exhaust system, and a gas sampling and analysis system. The pilot unit consisted of an upfront biotrickling tower, followed by two biofilter towers (operating in either parallel or series configurations), and a final bio-trickling filter serving as a polishing step. The pilot study indicated that this technology could demonstrate a BACT criteria of greater than 95 % DRE for each test compound depending on inlet VOC concentration. BACT was achieved when inlet concentrations exceeded the following levels: methanol 100 PPMv, acetone 50 PPMv, toluene 5 PPMv. Basic rate modeling for each compound suggested that the rate of methanol consumption in the pilot unit was mass transfer limited while the overall rates of toluene and acetone consumption may have been limited by biologically metabolism. Data from the study suggested that temperature played a critical role in overall system DRE for all three compounds, with higher DRE levels associated with warmer daytime temperatures. This trend indicated that a full scale biofilter design would necessitate the installation of a dedicated boiler capable of supplying the required heat to maintain a biomass bed temperature of 80°F or greater in order to achieve consistently high DRE for the test chemical species.
