The performance of an industrial prototype of a biological system was investigated during more than two years, for the treatment of exhaust gas from air emission of wooden painting activities. Two different type of VOCs mixture were treated at different weather conditions. Removal efficiencies were sufficiently high to maintain the outlet emissions within the legal thresholds. Particularly low costs for management were experienced, confirming the biofiltration a sustainable technology.
