Uniform Aeration. Optimized Performance.
Uniform Aeration at North America's Largest Biofilter
The Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility (IERCF) is one of the largest enclosed biosolids composting facilities in the United States. Designed to process a blend of green waste, dairy manure, and biosolids, the facility required an odor control system capable of delivering reliable performance at an exceptional scale.
When the facility was designed, maintaining complete odor control was one of the highest priorities. To support that objective, the design team selected the BioAer® Aeration Floor System to distribute process air evenly throughout the biofilter media.
The Challenge
Processing hundreds of thousands of cubit feet of air every minute requires more than blower capacity; it requires uniform airflow through the entire biofilter.
Uneven air distribution can reduce biological treatment efficiency, increase pressure loss, and create localized odor breakthrough. For a project of this scale, reliability was not optional.
The BacTee Solution
Following extensive evaluation of the available biofilter technologies, the project owners specified the BioAer® Aeration Floor System for the facility's biofilters.
The modular floor system provides:
-
Uniform airflow distribution throughout the media bed
-
Low pressure loss for efficient operation
-
Durable construction designed for long service life
-
Simplified installation and maintenance
-
Proven performance in demanding municipal applications
IERCF demonstrates the BioAer® system's ability to perform in one of the largest municipal biofilter applications not just in North America, but the world.
More than a decade after commissioning, the facility continues to showcase the value of engineered airflow distribution for large-scale odor control systems where reliability is critical.
