Abstract
Biological waste gas treatment in above ground conventional biofilters using natural filter beds is a simple and efficient technology (Chapter 3). It is suitable for the treatment of polluted air originating in production plants and waste water treatment plants from food and drinking industries (Passant et al., 1992). The technology has recently been applied by Casals Cardona Ind. for the treatment of waste gases released from a waste water treatment plant and containing mainly sulphur compounds, ammonia and some VOCs.
