How Does the System Work?

Bio•Reaction Bio•Oxidizers are treatment systems that use a Bio•Matrix™ to biologically absorb and digest VOCs, HAPs, and odorous compounds, with the by-products being respiratory levels of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

The Bio•Matrix is a compost material sometimes referred to as media. When contaminated air enters the Bio•Matrix, a living community of fungi and microbes captures and digests carbon molecules, leaving only small amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor to be released into the atmosphere.

Bio•Reaction's proprietary mix of Bio•MATRIX™ media has been utilized successfully in a variety of VOC applications for over 10 years. The recent addition of a structure for the Bio•MATRIX to create Bio•Reaction's patented Bio•AIRSPHERES has created the most advanced, long lasting, increased surface area media available.
