Modeling and Simulation of Trickle Bed Air Biofilter for Removal of VOCs
In this study, a mathematical model is proposed which incorporates mass transfer process and biofilm reactions in trickle bed air biofilter (TBAB). The model consists of a set of mass balance equations for isopropyl alcohol (IPA), acetone (ACE) and oxygen within the bulk gas phase and within the biofilm. These set of ordinary differential equations are converted into non-dimensionalised form an...
متن کاملAn analysis of a trickle-bed bioreactor: carbon disulfide removal.
An analysis of the local processes occurring in a trickle-bed bioreactor (TBB) with a first-order bioreaction shows that the identification of the TBB operating regime requires knowledge of the substrate concentration in the liquid phase. If the substrate liquid concentration is close to 0, the rate-controlling step is mass transfer at the gas-liquid interface; when it is close to the value in ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic characterization of a trickle bed air biofilter
This paper reports the effect of superficial liquid mass flow rate and bed void fraction on the pressure drop, dynamic liquid hold-up, mean liquid residence time and biofilm wetting, in a co-current down-flow xylene-removing trickle bed air biofilter (TBAB). The gas–liquid pressure drop increased with liquid mass flow rate and it also increased with diminishing bed void fraction, the effect bei...
متن کاملEffect of liquid flow rate and bed void fraction on the hydrodynamics and performance of a trickle-bed bioreactor Effect of liquid flow rate and bed void fraction on the hydrodynamics and performance of a trickle-bed bioreactor
Hydrodynamics has a strong influence on substrate elimination capacity in trickle-bed bioreactors (TBB). The present study reports the influence of liquid mass flow rate and bed void fraction on the TBB liquid residence time distribution (RTD), gas-liquid pressure drop, liquid hold-up, and biofilm wetting efficiency. Most RTD are well represented by a dispersion model. It is also shown that the...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT OF A PELLET SCALE MODEL FOR TRICKLE BED REACTOR USING CFD TECHNIQUES
In this study, a pellet scale model was developed for trickle bed reactor utilizing CFD techniques. Drag coefficients were calculated numerically at different velocities and bulk porosities in the case of single phase flow through the dry bed. The simulation results were then compared with the prediction of Kozeny-Carman (K-C) equation. The results indicated that drag coefficients calculated fr...
