Process description
Infiltration utilizes a supported media
for microbe growth to get rid of odours and organic
contaminants from air streams. The filter consists of a
closed chamber containing contamination degrading
microbes and absorbed water suspended in a very filter
medium. The filter medial is meant to produce a
high capability for water uptake, have an
extended operating life, and supply a coffee pressure
drop for the gases passing through the media. (Android
