Baffles divide the RBC into four interconnected chambers. The gas stream being treated enters one end of the unit and flows between the disks. The water continuously wets the surface of the rotating disks and absorbs contaminants contained in the gas stream. The absorbed contaminants are constantly removed by a layer of active biomass on the surface of the disks. The biomass consists of naturally occurring microorganisms, which convert the contaminants to carbon dioxide and water.
Excess biomass is conveyed by the water through the vessel and removed in a clarifier.
The combined process allows for the simultaneous removal of aqueous and gaseous wastes, while avoiding the use or production of hazardous chemicals. For comments and questions concerning the web page, E-Mail the Webmaster. Inc. All rights reserved.
