The objective of this powerpoint presentation was optimization of biofiltration with respect to
removal of taste and odor (T&O) compounds in order
to understand the contribution of
biodegradation and adsorption under realistic
operational conditions. The approach involved: comparing adsorbing media granular activated carbon(GAC) with
nonadsorbing media (expanded clay, EC);
Two Phases:
biomass concentration -
constant over bed depth / low temperature and
varying with depth / high temperature; and,
suppress microbial activity. Summary and conclusions were that: bench-scale experiments on biodegradation /
adsorption removal of MIB and geosmin were
carried out in bench scale columns;
from the first set of experiments a simple model
descriminating between adsorption and
biodegradation was developed; and,
the model was verified by an independent
experiment at different temperature and different
biomass concentration. Includes figures.
