The use of microalgae in integrated gas purification processes has taken a special interest in recent years, mainly due to its ability to capture CO2. These applications involve the generation of biomass that can be used to obtain bioproducts and/or bioenergy.
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ozone technology. In this case study, an ozone unit was inserted after a chemical scrubber. Odour samples were taken before the scrubbing, after the scrubber (and before the ozone unit), and after the whole set of abatement. Very high efficiencies were found.
