A Pseudomonas putida 54G biofilm was grown on toluene vapor supplied as the sole external carbon and energy source in a flat plate biofilm reactor. Enumerations of cells in the biofilm were made using culture techniques (selective and nonselective for toluene) and microscopic techniques (total and r
The effects of successive mixing (homogenization) of packing material (peat), with or without water addition, on the removal of toluene vapors in a biofilter were studied. Over a period of 50 days, an increase in the Elimination Capacity (EC) of approximately 240% was obtained by successive mixing a
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** European Union environmental policy has focused on abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial emissions, and new European VOC emission limits have been established. This study analyzes the performance of a composite membrane bioreactor treating air st
