Abstract:
Means for deodorizing composting gases, comprising in combination: a container packed with means presenting an extensive surface area to gases traversing the container and said means having low volume and low resistance to the flow of fluid media and gases traversing said container; an oxidation pond containing cryophillic and mesophillic aerobic microorganisms in a fluid media; means for conveying fluid impregnated with said microorganisms to said container for passage over said packing means; means for directing gases to be deodorized into contact with fluid cascading over said packing means whereby volatile organic compounds entrained in the gases are metabolically acted on both by microbial populations resident on the packing means and are carried by the fluid media into the oxidation pond to be further metabolically degraded and deodorized.
