MONASHELL EBf VOC Biofiltration System
The MONASHELL EBf VOC Biofiltration System was developed following an initiative to explore the potential of Bord na Móna's existing technologies for use on Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) applications.
This was achieved by employing two additional dynamics to enhance the technology and effect enhanced capture and catabolic breakdown of VOC’s.
Recirculation of air stream - This dynamic contributes to pre-dilution of the inlet contaminants and acceleration of mass transfer resulting in increased efficiency (typically from 50>90%) and increased elimination capacity (typically by a factor of 4).
Electromagnetic stimulation of water - The stimulation of Water regulates and controls the production of extra-cellular polysaccharides by microbes and leads to a higher catabolic breakdown conversion of VOC’s with most of the energy released as head.
