Biorem Technologies Inc. 

Biorem Technologies Inc. is a leader in design and implementation of biofilter technology for air purification and odor removal. Biological air filters provide cost effective and reliable removal of water soluble contaminants from air streams. The main advantages of biofiltration are the low operating cost (low energy consumption) and ultimate degradation of the contaminant on site rather than simply a phase transfer requiring further destruction. Biofilters have been used successfully in diverse applications to control both odors and VOC (volatile organic compound) emission. New applications continue to be developed.

Biofilters are used extensively in the control of odors from biological waste reduction processes such as waste water treatment and composting operations. In the last several years they have gained widespread use in the control of odors in the food industry including meat processing plants, food fragrance production and a variety of food and beverage fermentation processes.
