The Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility (IERCF) was constructed under a Joint Powers Authority agreement between the Inland Empire Utilities Agency and the LA County Sanitation Districts to manufacture exceptional quality compost that is good: for soil, plants, the environment, and public health. The in-vessel, 150,000 ton per year ...
Finally, an advanced tailor made biofilter installation was handed over to Ribe Biogas, within budget and time frame. ...
KG (KRS) we built a state-of-the-art composting facility for municipal organic waste. We were responsible for the design and construction of all civil and process equipment works. The facility includes a large receiving area and logistical building with air curtains, ventilation systems, nine composting tunnels, a humidifier and three biofilters. ...
A pilot scale experiment was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of contaminants removal in a continuously two-stage biological process composed of an anoxic biofilter (AF) and an biological aerated filter (BAF). This novel process was developed by introducing new composite packing material (MZF) into bioreactors to treat rural domestic wastewater. A comparative study conducted by the ...
The removal of benzene, toluene and xylene (model VOCs) in vapour phase has been compared individually in the present study using three biofilters. These biofilters were operated at different flow rates and concentrations (Keywords: biofilter, compost, volatile organic compound, VOC, performance, elimination ...
These building ventilation rates required to meet health and safety requirements unusual); in-building facilities need large air handling systems, water hungry biofilters with comparable footprints to the compost piles themselves. ...
Two substrates, compost and a sand—compost—perlite (SCP) mixture, were evaluated in a laboratory-scale experiment for their suitability as biofilter media. ...
Veldeman’s daughter company, Universal Fabric Structures was appointed by Nantucket Waste Options to construct their aeration and biofilter structures. More then 5.500m² of TFS structures in a custom layout meet the island wind loads and provide a corrosive free environment while solving waste disposal on the island. The biofilter will store the ...

This study brought to the definition and the calculation of Odour Emission Factors (OEFs), which enable the estimation of odour emissions from a composting plant by relating the quantity of odour emitted to the atmosphere to a given associated activity. ...
Since, compost had a higher concentration of microorganisms, compost became the media of choice for biofilters. Major problems encountered were settling of the compost, resulting in increased gas-phase pressure drop, availability of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, pH maintenance, and drying of the ...
Compost biofilters consisted of 238-L barrels containing a 1: 1 mixture (by volume) of compost to expanded polystyrene pellets. ...
In the literature, several studies have been conducted on biological treatment of gaseous emissions using either naturally bioactive media (soil, peat, compost, etc.) in biofilters or synthetic support media in biotrickling filters. ...
