Available from Odour Control Systems Australia , Biofiltration soil bed filters are particularly suitable for use in numerous wastewater and industrial applications.
Soil bed filters rely on naturally occurring microorganisms to metabolise air pollutants to harmless bi-products and they are able to simultaneously remove several types of contaminants. Contaminated air is passed through a bed filter which is packed with moist active bacteria that biologically destroy contaminants.
This natural process does not produce harmful products and includes renewable and sustainable resources.
Biofiltration soil bed filters are easy to operate and do not need chemicals, meaning they have minimal maintenance and operating costs.
These bio filters are also efficient at minimising bad odours with an efficiency rating of 95% in most situations.
Air from the soil bed filters is discharged over a wide area at low velocity, ensuring enhanced dissipation and dilution of the treated air at ground level.
These soil bed filters usually have an effective life of approximately five years and can be used in numerous applications including:
- Wastewater Treatment plants
- Paper and pulp industry
- Solid waste treatment plants
- Composting
- Food industry
- Slaughter Houses
- Rendering; and
- By-product manufacture
