Ethylbenzene Removal in a Multiple-Stage Biofilter
In practice, biofilters are often conceived as entire, single-unit systems. However, the activity of a biofilter varies greatly over its depth. For a given period, each stage of the biofilter dominates ethylbenzene removal. Ethylbenzene was continuously removed in a mixed-medium biofilter. The overall removal efficiency of the ethylbenzene ranged from 70% to greater than 99%. In the upflow biofilter, the most dominant ethylbenzene degrading stage shifted consecutively from the bottom to the top of the reactor. Average water content throughout the biofilter media was relatively consistent. However, the water content of each stage fluctuated dramatically and was correlated with the ethylbenzene removal rate. Without any water addition, the biofilter was operated for 62 days above the target removal efficiency of 80%. A 9-month slow-release fertilizer, mixed with composting media, was an effective way to eliminate the nutrient deficiency in the biofilter operation.
