Multi Phase Bio-filter

The Multi Phase Bio-Filter overcomes all the disadvantages of the conventional bio-scrubber design by treating the incoming contaminants in the phase (liquid or gas) in which the contaminant would normally reside, depending on its inherent properties. For example, a highly volatile compound which exhibits low water solubility will concentrate in the gas phase, and will be treated mainly in the gas phase. A highly water soluble compounds with low volatility will concentrate in the water phase and will be treated in the water phase. Most compounds with intermediate volatility and water solubility will be treated in both the gas and water phases, depending on their natural partitioning.

The Multi Phase Bio system uses a ceramic bio-filter media that enables a wide variety of microorganisms to adhere to its outer and inner surfaces, thereby providing a high surface area contact between the contaminated gas phase and the active bio films.
