The design of fixed bed reactors is mainly based on empirical data and due to the relatively short hydraulic retention times the reactors are generally designed for peak loads. Under normal operating conditions this leads to an 'inactive' volume of up to 25% and it is not certain whether this volume will be fully available under peak conditions. It was therefore investigated to what extent the operating parameters influence the performance of the biofilter and how the operation could be made more flexible by varying these operating parameters
