Biofiltration: Controlling Air Emissions Through Innovative Technology

Abstract

This publication examines biofiltration as a safe and cost-effective technology for eliminating odors and, at the same time, controlling VOC and toxic emissions to meet forthcoming regulatory requirements. A conceptual design for a full-scale biofilter suitable for application by treatment facilities included in the text, along with a summary review of the literature. Published by WERF. 208 pages. Online PDF only.

Originally funded as WERF project 92-VOC-1.
