Bio-filters Application for Treatment of Volatile Organic Compounds and Odor

Many anthropogenic sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) originated from industrial activities can be toxic as well as deadly to humans and detrimental to the environment. Bio- filtration represents a cost effective and democratic technology that can be used for the control of biodegradable VOCs and offensive odour from air streams. Additionally, air bio-filtration can be used with soil vacuum extraction and air stripping of groundwater to treat VOCs extracted from those matrices during cleanup operation.
