title: Performance of a Suspended-Growth Bioscrubber for the Control of Methanol.
abstract: An experimental study is presented on the control of methanol emissions using a single-stage, laboratory-scale, suspended-growth bioscrubber. The inlet concentration was 50 or 100 ppmv. The bioscrubber was operated for over 80 days at a solids residence time of either one or two days. The overall removal efficiency of the scrubber with biomass ranged from 69.0 to 81.0%. The efficiency increased with the liquid flow rate. Model simulations were in good agreement with the data.
