Soil Bed Biofilters

Soil bed biofilters rely on naturally occurring microorganisms to metabolise air pollutants to harmless by-products. Contaminated air is distributed and passed through a bed packed with moist organic media, absorbing contaminants into the water layer surrounding the media surface where they are biologically destroyed by active bacteria.

OCS soil bed biofilters are designed and manufactured to suit the specific needs of our clients, but generally consist of:

• Solid structure designed to last a minimum of 15 years
• Extraction and diffuser pipework from source to bed
• Extraction blower
• Independant bed drainage system
• OCS proprietary organic media blend
• Moisture regulating system
