Membrane-Mediated Extraction and Biodegradation of VOCs from Air

Abstract

This project is designed to evaluate the feasibility of using a membrane-supported extraction and biotreatment process to meet NESHAP standards for aircraft painting and depainting facilities. The proposed system will both minimize the treated volume and concentrate the VOCs within that treated volume to further reduce the size and cost of the control equipment. These advantages make this VOC treatment option viable over a broad range of spray booth sizes. This will be accomplished using the partitioned recirculation flow reduction technique and a novel VOC concentrating and biological treatment process, the Membrane BioTreatment (MBT) system.
