Abatement of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) using a biofilter has significantly reduced treatment costs for a leading automotive manufacturer. Mayflower Vehicle Systems assessed abatement technologies against Best Available Techniques (BAT) criteria under the new Integrated Pollution And Prevention Control Regulations.

Reduced environmental impact and significantly lower running costs over the life of the technology contributed to Mayflower Vehicle Systems’ decision to install a biofilter to treat their VOC emissions.

Bord na Móna’s specialists were able to provide a comprehensive range of services from odour monitoring and VOC assessment through to odour and VOC abatement systems on a turnkey basis.
Bord na Móna worked with Mayflower Vehicle Systems to provide BAT options and installed a pilot plant biofilter to assess biofiltration as an appropriate technology for their application. The full scale biofilter was installed during the summer production shut down.
