Atmospheric pollution biological treatment

The volatility of pollutants muse also be taken into account so as to prevent pollution transfer to the atmosphere during biological purification. Whenever there are considerable concentrations in volatile solvents, whether biodegradable (IPA, IPE, MEK) or not (chlorinated solvents), it is advisable to strip the rich effluents at their point of origin or to detect their concentration and send them off to storage and possible recovery treatment.
