Author Description

This report details the results of a collaborative project investigating biofiltration as a method to control volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. The report summarises what is currently known about this technology from literature, as well as from the experience of project team members with biofiltration at the bench-, pilot-, and full-scale levels. The report goes on to define the regime of applicability of biofiltration, and the data that must be gathered during bench- and pilot-scale evaluations. Two database tools on CD-ROM are included in the report to help practitioners identify whether a specific VOC application is a viable candidate for biofiltration.
