Abstract
In the paper, the hydrodynamics of existing packings for biofilters is considered. The paper discusses the features of the flow regime of
the gas stream in the random packings and regular packings at Reynolds numbers (from 15 till 200) that correspond to the viscous flow
regime in the processes of biological purification of the gas. Results of research of hydraulic resistance of packings from artificial
materials (combinated packing, highly porous packing, polyurethane foam, ceramic raschig rings, recovered carbon, silicagel) and natural
materials (lump wood, cone, bark) are given. These packings are widely used in the heat-mass transfer devices. The experiments were
carried out on the experimental columns. Diameters of the columns are 100 and 200 mm. Height of the columns is 1000 mm. The results
of experiments are generalized using similarity criteria – Reynolds. Obtained regularities enable one to select the most efficient and less
energy-consuming modes of operation of the biofilter. The packings of a various geometrical form are compared. In addition,
classification the packings for biofilters is given. The most perspective packings for implementation of biological gas purification are
offered.
Keywords: biofilter; packing; purification of gas; viscous; inertial flow regime.
