Said air flow (3) comprises at least one vapour phase compound, and wherein the air flow (3) is subjected to at least one first treatment process arranged for reducing the concentration of the at least one vapour phase compound in the treated air flow below a predefined threshold, and wherein said first treatment process comprises subjecting the air flow to at least one photooxidation step.

A gas filter includes a housing including a mounting portion and a main portion. The mounting portion is configured to mount the gas filter on a surface of a device. The main portion is configured to be positioned apart from the surface of the device and extends from the mounting portion in a horizontal direction. The housing has an inlet and an outlet and defines a flow channel between the inlet and the outlet. The flow channel has first and second channel portions, the first channel portion extending from the inlet to the second channel portion, the second channel portion extending in a direction substantially parallel to the horizontal direction. A filter member is positioned in the flow channel between the inlet and the outlet.

Disclosed is a system for integrally treating a composite waste gas including nitrogen oxides (NO.sub.x and N.sub.2O), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs). The system includes a first wet processor configured to wash and adsorb dust including gases, SO.sub.x, and ash dissolved in water, a decomposing reactor configured to receive waste gas processed in the first wet processor and process nitrogen oxides (NO.sub.x and N.sub.2O), fluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in the waste gas, and a second wet processor configured to receive the waste gas processed in the decomposing reactor and wash and adsorb the received waste gas. The system can efficiently treat a large amount of composite waste gas.

Various illustrative embodiments of a system and process for recovering high-quality biomethane and carbon dioxide product streams from biogas sources and utilizing or sequestering the product streams are provided.
