Phillips et al. 2008: Patented peat filtration media for the treatment of odour and VOC emissions
Summary:
This paper will give an overview of the critical elements of developing an effective odour control strategy for a municipal waste management facility. In particular, it will look in more detail at the application of patented technology utilising high-quality peat derived filter media to overcome the limitations of conventional organic biofilter media. Detailed case studies will be cited with particular reference to process performance, energy consumption, media life and recycling of filtration media.
