About Bio•Reaction Industries

Bio•Reaction Industries, LLC (BRI) pioneered a new generation of environmentally friendly air pollution control systems that utilize microbes to digest industrial pollutants and odors. We’ve taken the age-old bio-filtration technology that’s been utilized in Europe for decades and transformed it into a modular, reliable bio-oxidation solution for volatile organic compound (VOC) and odor control. Our patented bio-oxidation systems achieve the highest removal efficiency of VOCs for any air phase biological treatment system in the world.

Our innovative vapor-phase bio-technologies provide a cost effective way to comply with regulatory requirements, delivering dramatic energy savings for industrial customers across the US and around the world. Bio•Reaction’s Bio-Oxidation Systems are suited for a wide range of applications – from paints and coatings to chemical processing and the petrochemical industry.

Developing an Innovative Approach to Bio-Filtration

Based in Tualatin, Oregon, Bio•Reaction Industries was established in 1993 to research, develop, manufacture and market products that biologically digest VOCs created by various types of generators for Industrial Applications.
During the early years, Bio•Reaction Industries focused on educating local, state, and federal regulators about this innovative technology while conducting extensive research and product testing in industrial settings to demonstrate the technology.
Bio•Reaction systems were installed in a variety of markets, spanning the industrial VOC arena. These successful early installations validated the ability of bio-oxidation to provide a reliable, sustainable pollution control alternative.
Now Bio•Reaction has expanded into global markets, with representative partnerships in Asia and Europe to address their growing demand for sustainable, cost effective remediation

Why Bio-Oxidation?

Bio•Reaction’s advanced Bio-Oxidation Systems offer distinct advantages over the thermal oxidizers they replace, providing an alternative to expensive, high maintenance CO2 producing technologies. They cost 90% less to operate – saving our customers hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in operating costs – and do not produce additional greenhouse gases (such as CO2, NOx and SOx).

Our patented bio-oxidation systems achieve the highest removal efficiency of VOCs for any air phase biological treatment system in the world.
