A strategic approach for the design of two-phase partitioning bioscrubbers (TPPBs) has been formulated using, as a basis, a re-evaluation of extensive literature data available for the degradation of benzene by Achromobacter xylosoxidans Y234 in TPPBs with n-hexadecane as the partitioning phase. Using a previously determined maintenance coefficient for benzene, we determined that an inlet benze...
