Odor Control

Biofilter

The treatment of odors is one of the top priorities of the facility. A natural soil filter media is used to treat the odors. Bio-filters use microorganisms to remove odor causing compounds. The air flows through a packed bed and the compounds transfer into a thin biofilm on the surface of the filter media. Microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, comprising the biofilm, degrade the compounds which cause odors.
