• Resumen

  • Modular biofilter systems offer an efficient, environmentally friendly and highly flexible method to clean polluted air currents from industrial and biological processes. An absolute novelty is presented by the modular control system for biological installations. By making use of intelligent control methods, ideal and stable operating conditions and compliance with the highest degrees of efficiency are achieved. For instance, as the moisture within the filter media of biofilters can only be measured by making use of very complex methods, a different approach was developed. For the first time, cost-efficient sensors to measure the humidity distribution and air current allocation within the filter material are deployed. The data of this three-dimensional view is also included into the control system.
