Development of an innovative composite biofilter using waste materials, intended for the purification and deodorization of process gases from selected industries
The main goal of the project was to develop an integrated (two-stage) biofilter, using waste materials, for purifying and deodorization of process gases from selected industries (mechanical- biological treatment of municipal solid waste, wastewater treatment and food processing industry). Part of the project was technical design development, which might be the basis of the patent claim. The concept of integrated biofilter is an innovative solution, not being used so far on the industrial scale. The new biofilter enables the optimization of operating parameters and a significant reduction of air emissions. Furthermore it contributes to a better use of waste materials, which is in line with the circular economy concept.
Integrated (two-stage) biofilter is intended to:
• conduct a two-stage gas purification process: purification on the classic biofilter (stage I) and on a semi-permeable membrane (stage II);
• modification of the technical and operational conditions of biofiltration process;.
• significant reduction in emissions at relatively low investment costs;
• implementation of the concept of industrial symbiosis based on the information of the European Commission of 2 December 2015. to introduce the circular economy concept.
The project consists of 6 stages, three of them cover industrial research and a further three experimental development. Integrated biofilter enables adjusting biofiltration parameters to the specific process gases. The final outcome of the Project will be implementation of integrated biofilter to the market by the Industrial Partner.
In 2020, the implementation of the project entitled “Development of an innovative composite biofilter using waste materials, intended for the purification and deodorization of process gases from selected industries”, acronym – BIOZIN, financed under the Intelligent Development Operational Program (POIR.04.01.02-00-0019 / 16).
