N2 - One of the main challenges facing biological treatment of contaminated gas streams is the inconsistency of contaminants' concentrations in the gas feed. The microorganisms responsible for the biodegradation process are very delicate to influent concentration changes. This adds an extra constraint beyond the other difficulties encountered in the biodegradation process. A discussion covers an integrated scheme of cyclic adsorption/desorption beds and trickle bed air biofilter treating a mixture of n-hexane and benzene; changes in the influent concentration; feasibility of using biofilters in chemical industries; optimum time of bed switching; and removal efficiencies. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 103rd Air and Waste Management Association Annual Conference and Exhibition (Calgary, Alberta, Canada 6/22-25/2010).
