Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, took the novel step of converting
the chemical scrubbers that remove hydrogen sulfide into so - called biotrickling filters, adding water and Thiobacillus microbes, which reduce hydrogen sulfide into nonsmelly sulfate.
Usually, Devinny says, biofilters have to be very large to get the same efficiency as
chemical scrubbers, but this technique shrinks the required volume.
The researchers estimate savings to treatment plants at $ 30,000 a year, which would soon offset the $ 40,000 to $ 60,000 conversion cost from
chemical scrubbers.
Over about 8 months, the researchers found that the biotrickling filter was as efficient as
a chemical scrubber, requiring only about 1.5 seconds of contact to remove the gas.
Global Thermostat has a fix: filter air through devices that capture the CO2 with
a chemical scrubber.
