AIR BIOFILTERS
BIOFILTERS AIR TREATMENT INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
Biologic air purification is a highly effective and widely known technology for the removal of organic and inorganic substances. The purification treatment known as industrial air filtration can be made with vegetal or inert-based supports where to develop the growth of bacteria aimed at degrading pollutant substances.
ADVANTAGES
Vegetal-based filtering materials have low pressure drop, wide contact surface, high porosity and mechanical strength. It is not damaged by acid or basic compounds filling the treatable air.
SECURITY
Air biofiltering processes are made in a closed and controlled environment, with the control software constantly monitoring the biological processes parameters, intervening in case of critical issues and warning the operator in case of necessary maintenance.
EFFICIENCY
Energetic consumptions are from 30 to 50% lower compared to traditional industrial air filtration plants.
RESULTS
Olfactory Units abatement from 80 to 98%
TOC reduction from 70 to 95%
Sulfur-based compounds abatement: > 80%
Nitric compounds abatement: >85%
BIO FILTERS AIR TREATMENT INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
The process of air biofiltering for odor control targets air pollutants, which then get decomposed and removed by metabolic activity of microorganisms. After the exhaust air compounds are absorbed in the filtering material, the microbial decomposition of the pollutants takes place. The filter layer is therefore of the utmost importance since it is where absorption and microbial decomposition of air pollutants take place.
BIOFILTERS
BIOFILTERING THROUGH BIO FILTERS
Biofilters are employed in air biofilter plants and are made with vegetable filling materials, selected based on efficiency criteria: low pressure drop and high abatement rate. Inside BMB biofilters, air distribution is realized through anticorrosion-made gratings. Biofilters are then installed in closed boxes to keep the process independent and repaired from the external weather.
CONTROLLED OXIDATION BIOFILTERS
CONTROLLED AIR BIOFILTER
This typology of air biofilter plants is realized in closed boxes equipped with a “smart” dedicated control software, constantly monitoring the biologic oxidation process. Thanks to said technology, the software can automatically intervene in case of necessity and notify the operator in advance when programmed or extraordinary maintenance is required showing the plant’s functioning trend.
BIOTRICKLING
INDUSTRIAL AIR FILTRATION THROUGH BIOTRICKLING
Biotricklings take advantage of the inert filling material’s action, being resistant to acid with high porosity and low pressure drops, and are equipped with a dedicated software constantly monitoring their functioning. The system envisages oligoelements dosage (N, P, K) to guarantee proper bacterial growth, while a specific technology allows constant spraying of the filter material. Thanks to the material’s high porosity, contact timing can be lower than 20 seconds.

FAQs about photocatalytic filters
What are biofilters air treatment for industrial plants?
Biofilters for industrial air treatment are eco-friendly systems that use biological processes to remove pollutants, odors, and harmful compounds from the air with high efficiency and low energy consumption.
How do biofilters air treatment for industrial plants work?
Biofilters work by using microbial activity to break down air pollutants. Contaminants are absorbed into a filtering material, where bacteria decompose them, ensuring efficient and eco-friendly air purification.
What are the benefits of using biofilters air treatment for industrial plants?
Biofilters offer high pollutant removal efficiency, reduced energy consumption (30-50% lower than traditional systems), and effective odor control, while being eco-friendly and resistant to acidic or basic compounds.
Where are biofilters air treatment commonly used?
Biofilters are commonly used in industries such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors, as well as in wastewater treatment plants, waste processing facilities, industrial painting, packaging, and plastics recovery.
