摘要 |
A biofiltration apparatus and method for reducing methyl bromide concentration in a volume of a gas are disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing (20) and a substrate component (50) located in the housing (20). The substrate component (50) includes a population of methyl bromide degrading microorganisms. The housing (20) receives a volume of contaminated gas, such as exhaust from a fumigation site, through a contaminated gas inlet (30). The contaminated gas is exposed to the methyl bromide degrading microorganisms where the methyl bromide is biodegraded. The filtered gas, or the gas with a reduced methyl bromide concentration, is then directed out (40) of the housing (20). The apparatus may also include a contaminated gas load dampening device (92).
