The goal of this project was to assess the potential of using biofiltration to remove terpenes from the exhaust of a Cannabis cultivation facility. This is an environmental concern with increased output of VOCs and poses a nuisance of odor. Following the construction of a bench-scale compost biofilter, experiments were conducted to determine the overall effectiveness of removal of isolated terpinolene. From experimentation the removal efficiency of each column was calculated to be an average of 64.5% and 67.3%, respectively. Recommendations were proposed to promote continuation of experimentation as well as to suggest further areas of research to design a full-scale model.
