The 3-D mesh technique was also validated with the results of (Alvarez-Hornos et al., 2009), for the comparison of experimental results and 3-D mesh predicted ECs for the biofiltration of pure ethyl acetate, toluene and their mixture (Alvarez-Hornos et al., 2009). The results obtained in this work were very close to results reported by Alvarez-Hornos et al., 2009. In previous paper,
a comparative study was also described for experimental ECs and model predictions for BTEX removal (Mathur et al., 2012).
