“…The analysis of physicochemical parameters should be associated with microbial biodegradation to both improve control and maintain maximum efficiency of the biofilters. Based on DNA extracted directly from natural samples, various analyzes have been developed to clarify microbial ecology (Theron and Cloete, 2000;Singh and Ward, 2005). Temporal and spatial changes in bacterial populations and microbial community diversity during biodegradation have been examined by sophisticated molecular methods (Widada et al, 2002;Omri et al, 2011;Ramírez et al, 2011).…”

“…Los factores que afectan el desempeño de un biofiltro son: las características del soporte, el pH, la temperatura, la humedad, los nutrientes, la concentración de o2, la caída de la presión, el tiempo de residencia del gas en el soporte (eBrt, del inglés Empty Bed Residence Time), los microorganismos presentes en él, y la concentración del (de los) contaminante(s). Estos parámetros deben optimizarse para que el desempeño del biorreactor sea el mejor posible y sea viable técnicamente la transferencia de la tecnología a condiciones locales (Singh y Ward, 2005).…”

El país tiene la necesidad de implementar proyectos de investigación aplicada que permitan alinearse con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible. En este sentido, es necesario establecer alternativas para la diversificación de la matriz energética nacional, la mitigación del cambio climático, la evaluación de potenciales energéticos basados en fuentes renovables, la generación de tecnologías para el control de la contaminación, etc. Los procesos basados en estas actividades hacen necesario el establecimiento de diversas etapas con el fin de realizar una transferencia tecnológica desde la academia a los sectores involucrados. Entre las etapas más importantes desarrolladas por la Universidad se tienen: la determinación del potencial y la disponibilidad de las biomasas, la caracterización fisicoquímica, los pretratamientos, la evaluación del potencial energético y los productos de valor agregado, el monitoreo ambiental in situ, el escalado del proceso y la determinación de la viabilidad técnica, económica y ambiental de las tecnologías.

For economic and safety reasons, biofiltration is now recognized as one of the most advantageous treatment technologies available to control odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and toxic air emissions from diverse municipal and industrial sources, provided the volatile compound does not need to be recovered and when the pollutant concentration does not exceed 5–10 g/m 3 . It is considered a clean technology with minimal energy requirements and low waste production. This article reviews the history and current state of the biofiltration technology, summarizes its principles, design, and operation, and discusses the applicability of biofiltration systems for a wide variety of specific emission sources. Moreover, an overview of the key factors influencing biofilter design, operation, and performance is provided. A comparison with other biological systems outlines that conventional biofilters have the easiest mode of operation combined with quite a wide application range and relatively low capital and operating costs. A wide picture of the biofilter applications either at pilot‐scale or full‐scale with related pollutants that can be removed is given. The results reported show that, under proper conditions, biofilters can offer high removal efficiencies for a wide range of common air pollutants. The principal groups of microorganisms involved in biofilters as well as their respective main metabolic pathways are also presented and discussed. Economic analysis made on different bases demonstrates that biofiltration is by far the most convenient process if applied to high flow rates of air emissions containing relatively low concentrations of easily biodegradable compounds. Finally, current and potential future developments of the biofiltration technology are also addressed.
