When there is a problem of odors to be solved, the first step is to identify its origin, analyzing in the laboratory the presence of substances such as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, amines, and other malodorous substances. The experience of our Company in the field allows us to define the technical characteristics of the biofilter suitable to you.
Air bio-filtration gets its purification through biological treatment: by passing the polluted and smelly air over a filtering medium on which microorganisms specific to the pollutant to be treated reside. The bio-filtration process takes place in two successive steps: absorption of the pollutant in the filter media and pollutant bio-degradation by bacteria. The process requires a preliminary humidification process to saturate the air with water.
Bio-filtration of gaseous effluents is a new technology to purify the air efficiently and economically. It is much used for water treatment plants, plants for soil treatment, composting centers, waste treatment and food processing industries, chemical, pharmaceutical and paper industries.
