Bio-Reaction[TM] wins Environmental Business Journal award.The Environmental Business Journal has awarded its 2001 Technology Merit Award to Bio-Reaction[TM] Industries for innovation in biofilters, including air pollution control of volatile organic compounds volatile organic compound Environment Any toxic cabon-based (organic) substance that easily become vapors or gases–eg, solvents–paint thinners, lacquer thinner, degreasers, dry cleaning fluids (VOGs) and odors. Bio-Reaction[TM] has developed patented technology that creates a much smaller footprint for biofilters, using less energy, and does not add pollutants to the waste stream. Bio-Reaction[TM] operates by passing a contaminated air stream through a proprietary bed of compost material, which acts as an attachment site for rich microbial microbial pertaining to or emanating from a microbe. microbial digestion the breakdown of organic material, especially feedstuffs, by microbial organisms. fauna. VOCs are absorbed from the air stream as a food source, by microorganisms, converting the pollutant into carbon dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure. and water vapor. As the organic pollutant is metabolized, the binding site to which it was attached again becomes available to strip additional VOC (Vertical Online Community) See vertical portal. molecules from the incoming air stream. |
