Description:

Biofiltratfon is an established economical air pollution control technology for removing organic contaminants from air. The existing filters using natural media, such as peat and compost, have been demonstrated in the field for degrading up to several thousand ppm of contaminants. An engineered filter using synthetic media, such as activated carbon, has been developed that shows improvements in removal efficiency, biodegradation, and space requirements over existing filters.
