Air Emissions from the Automobile Manufacturing Industry: A Bio-Oxidation Pilot Study of Paint Emissions Control
|
From Bio-Reaction Industries, Inc.
Bio*Reaction Industries (BRI) was contacted by Toyota to assess the abatement potential of an engineered bio-oxidation system (biofilter). The proposed intent of the pilot was to evaluate the effectiveness of biofiltration as available alternative to traditional VOC removal technology on an existing 3 stage wheel paint booth. A pilot unit consisting of a biotrickling filter and a separate biomatrix chamber with a common, biologically active, sump was prepped and transported to the site where it was connected to the exhaust system serving the paint booths. Over a five day period, adjustments were made to airflow (adjusting residence time) and sump water recirculation spray (biotrickling filter flow rate and biomatrix chamber timing) while monitoring the VOC inlet and outlet concentrations using a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID - Method 25A).
