    abstract = {Centralized Anaerobic Digestion (CAD) power plants are renewable energy 
  solutions which generate electricity and heat from the combustion of biogas 
  produced from animal manure and other organic wastes. Odour and Volatile Organic 
  Compounds (VOC) emissions from these plants unless controlled are bound to constitute 
  menace to the environment. In this review, biofiltration was established as 
  the most suitable abatement technology for odorous VOC removal in the waste 
  air stream of biogas plants. While other technologies often generate secondary 
  wastes which require further treatment down stream there by incurring more costs, 
  biofiltration does not and is often found less expensive. However, making a 
  good design of a biofilter demands careful considerations of the bed material, 
  microbes to be employed and a thorough characterisation of the polluted gas 
  stream to be treated. This assessment report also examined the technical impacts 
  of adopting this biological technology which has found application in publicly-owned 
  treatment works, the pulp and study industry among others.}
