The objective of this study is to develop a process to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from biogas by bioscrubber. The laboratory scale bioscrubber system in this study was a 0.05 L absorption tray tower with a 1.5 L biological oxidation reactor inoculated with sulfur oxidizer from a local waste water treatment plant. The performances of biosrubber were studied in different inlet H2S concentrations and different empty bed residence times (EBRT). H2S concentrations were varied from 407 to 4153 ppmv at EBRT of 63 s corresponded to inlet H2S loading rate of 32–326g H2S m− 3 h− 1. The maximum removal efficiency of the bioscrubber was 80% at 37g H2S m− 3 h− 1 inlet loading rate. The maximum elimination capacity of the bioscrubber was 160g H2Smm− 3 h− 1 at an inlet loading rate of 320g H2S m− 3 h− 1. The maximum removal efficiency of 1000ppmv H2S biogas was 75, 89, 93 and 99% at EBRT of 63, 79, 90 and 105 s respectively. The bioscrubber also had little effects on carbon dioxide removal. About 2% of CO2 was also removed from the biogas stream while the CO2 concentration of untreated biogas was around 10–12%. Overall, the bioscrubber may be another environmental friendly mean to improve the quality of H2S contaminated biogas without the necessity to use hazardous chemicals. http://dx. doi. org/10.1016/j. copbio. 2013.05. 183
