Abstract

A device for the removal of volatile organic compounds including at least one first connector arranged at the outlet of a gas stream to be treated. At its top, has a connection extension that links with the bioreactor located in the middle part of the device (having a nutrient solution where organisms that degrade volatile organic compounds can grow). Additionally, there is a dispersion arrangement that couples with an outlet through which the gaseous stream, once treated, is expelled out to the environment. A distribution network of a nutritive solution with microorganisms that degrade volatile organic compounds. The connection extension includes a distributor cone that is arranged in an inverted way and internally emptied and also has a cylindrical extension at its top. The distributor cone allows the airflow to be displaced by an external path into the internal walls of the distributor cone, whose cylindrical extension connects with a second perforated cylinder with multiples drill holes throughout its periphery. The axial axis of the cylindrical extension coincides with the axial axis of the distributor cone. The perforations of this second perforated cylinder are arranged so that the gas output can enter the bioreactor from its bottom.

Dependent claims

A device for the removal of volatile organic compounds comprising:

at least one first connector (100) arranged at an outlet of a gas stream to be treated;
a connection extension (200) having a first end connested each one of the at least one first connector (100);
a bioreactor (300) having a first end connected to a second end of the connection extension (200), the bioreactor contains a nutrient solution where organisms that degrade volatile organic compounds grow;
a dispenser (400) having a first end connected to second end of the bioreactor;
an outlet (500) coupled to the dispenser;
a distribution device (600) connected to a second end of the dispenser (400), the distribution device (600) contains a nutritive solution with microorganisms that degrade volatile organic compounds;
wherein the connection extension (200) includes a distributor cone (201) arranged in an inverted way, a hollow body, and a cylindrical extension (202) connected to the distribution cone (201);
