Laboratory Testing: Microbe-Lift ® Technology’s Efficacy Improving Gas Capture in Biofilters in Seoul, Korea - BIO-GAS

MICROBE-LIFT®/HOG was designed for use in manure pits where it has been used successfully for over thirty years. One of the major benefits provided by this technology is substantial reduction in sulfur‐containing odors. Based on years of successful treatment controlling sulfide odors, the goal of this testing was to determine the potential for utilizing MICROBE-LIFT® technology in biofilters to improve removal of sulfur-containing odors in a wide variety of applications.

MICROBE-LIFT®/HOG successfully degraded the mercaptan and H2S in the LG designed biofilters. This testing supports the use of MICROBE-LIFT® technology in biofilters. It also confirms its efficacy in controlling these gases in manure applications. MICROBE-LIFT®/HOG did not show any degradation of the styrene monomer in the conditions of the test. While it may be possible to improve performance under different conditions, this test did not show any potential for the use of MICROBE-LIFT® in these biofilters. However, the negative result for the styrene monomer can be utilized as a negative control supporting the positive effects of test #1 and test #2.
