The selection of biofilter material for biological air filtration is vital for the biofilter's cleaning performance. Therefore, biofilter material must live up to essential requirements of the biofilter construction:

 

  • High population density
  • Good water-holding capacity
  • Large surface for microorganisms
  • Well-balanced nutrient supply
  • Low filter resistance
  • Good sorptive properties
  • Low smell
  • Long service life

 

The balance of these characteristics is a major prerequisite for optimal biofilter function. As biofilter material, we offer mixtures and layers of the following raw materials:
