Biofiltration: An Innovative Air Pollution Control
01/03/2012 Biofiltration is a relatively recent air pollution control (APC) technology in which off-gases containing biodegradable volatile organic compounds (VOC) or inorganic air toxics are vented through a biologically active material. This technology has been successfully applied in Germany and The Netherlands in many full-scale applications to control odors, VOC and air toxic emissions from a wide

Why Biofiltration? Bioteg Biofilter Systems
Biofiltration is an air pollution control technology that utilizes microorganisms to biologically degrade odors and other volatile air pollutants contained in waste air streams. The microorganisms exist on the surface and in a thin water film surrounding the surface of the biofilter material. During the biofiltration process, the contaminated air is slowly pumped through the biofilter material
