biofilters

Biofilters are systems that naturally clean air or water by using beneficial microorganisms, like bacteria, to break down pollutants. In air purification, biofilters pass contaminated air through a bed of moist, porous material where microbes digest odors and harmful gases, turning them into harmless substances like carbon dioxide and water. Similarly, in water treatment, biofilters remove organic matter and pollutants through microbial activity. They are sustainable, cost-effective solutions that rely on natural biological processes, making them eco-friendly options for improving air and water quality in industrial, commercial, and environmental settings.
