Article Synopsis
- - Offensive odors in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are largely caused by compounds like hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and toluene, which require effective treatment solutions.
- - A laboratory prototype biofilter was tested using chicken manure and sugarcane bagasse that showed high removal efficiencies: 96.9% for hydrogen sulfide, 68% for ammonia, and 71.5% for toluene, though performance dipped with higher toluene levels.
- - The findings suggest the biofilter could be a practical option for odor management in WWTPs, with the ability to recover from temporary increases in toluene concentration.
