Abstract
An air emissions treatment system is characterized by a moving biomass filter element which alternately passes through the air being treated and a nutrient laden liquid to remove pollutants from the air. The filter element is in the form of one or more endless loops which are conveyed within an enclosed housing. As a section of the filter element passes through the air, it withdraws pollutants therefrom. When the filter passes through the liquid, it receives moisture and nutrients and releases the pollutants into the liquid.
