Removal of organic compounds like toluene from waste gases with a trickle-bed reactor can result in clogging of the reactor due to the formation of an excessive amount of biomass. We therefore limited the amount of nutrients available for growth, t o prevent clogging of the reactor. As a consequence
## Abstract Two identical laboratory‐scale bioreactors were operated simultaneously, each treating an input air flow rate of 1 m^3^ h^−1^. The biofilters consisted of multi‐stage columns, each stage packed with a compost‐based filtering material, which was not previously inoculated. The toluene inl
