Abstract: | "The main aim of this study was to optimize and maximize the impacts of odor and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) biodegradation in a wastewater treatment plant utilizing a pilot-scale compact trickle bed bioreactor (CTBB). A CTBB was built and tested for its long-term performance during which gases were supplied from the tank containing semi-liquid fats, oils, and fat waste. The concentrations of pollutants ranged from 0 to 140.75 mg/m(3) H(2)S, 0 to 2500 mg/m(3) VOCs, and 0 to 21.5 mg/m(3) NH(3). The CTBB was tested at different gas flow rates and at two pH values for the liquid phase: pH = 7.0 and 5.0. In the liquid phase, the pollutant removal efficiency was higher at pH = 7.0 than at pH = 5.0. Overall, the removal efficiency was between 81.5 % and 99.5 % for the VOCs and 87.5 % and 98.9 % for H(2)S, while NH(3) removals were >99 %" |
