Biofiltration was used to treat gasoline vapors produced by soil vapor extraction (SVE) from an area contaminated by a leaking underground gasoline tank. The biofilter was installed upstream of an activated carbon unit. The biofilter removed 25--50% of the vapors in the early months of the project, when more volatile components dominated. Later, the vapors were mostly less volatile materials, and the biofilter removed 40--75%. This behavior was predicted by bench scale experiments. The biofilter was economically successful, and the project provided data for projecting the economic viability of biofilters in similar applications.
