Bioconservacion product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Bioconservacion (BION) designs, manufactures, and distributes gas-phase air filtration and gas purification solutions across two divisions. The Post-harvest Care division offers ethylene and VOC control products — sachets, transport filters, cold-room equipment, desiccants, and monitoring devices — to extend the shelf life of fresh produce during storage and transport. The Industrial Environment Care division supplies proprietary chemical filtration media and engineered equipment (packed-bed scrubbers, side-access holders, positive pressurization units) for biogas desulfurization and siloxane removal, industrial corrosion control, wastewater odor abatement, and indoor air quality applications.
Product overview
BION (Bioconservacion) is an air filtration and gas purification solutions provider with two main divisions: Post-harvest Care and Industrial Environment Care. The Post-harvest division offers ETHYL STOPPER sachets, FUNGI STOP sachets, TRANSPROTEKT filters, ETH machines with PM18 modules, BION DRY bags, BIOLOG USB monitoring devices, and ETHAN ethylene monitors for fruit and vegetable preservation. The Industrial Environment division provides filtration media including BION CARB BG, BION SIGMA, BION DOD, BION AC, BION ISORB, BION ACPA, BION Carb OX, BION Clear, BION KOH, and BION Active Max, along with equipment such as PBS scrubbers, SAH modular units, and UPP pressurization units for biogas purification, corrosion control, odor control, and indoor air quality applications. The company operates a manufacturing facility in Gavà, Barcelona with in-house R&D and laboratory capabilities.

Products and services
- ETHYL STOPPER Sachets Hermetic sachets made of food-contact Tyvek paper filled with BION R8/R12 potassium permanganate granules (or carbon and potassium permanganate alumina for FUNGI STOP variant) for ethylene and VOC absorption during post-harvest storage of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Certified for organic products.
- TRANSPROTEKT Filters Cylindrical air filters containing potassium permanganate media for continuous removal of ethylene, VOCs (ethanol, acetaldehyde), and fungal spores during land, sea, or air transport of fresh produce. Certified for food contact and organic products; preserves color, taste, and smell.
- ETH Machines and PM18 Modules ETH 425, ETH 850, and ETH 1700 cold-room air filtration machines fitted with V-shaped BION PM18 replaceable media modules. PM18 modules have corrosion-resistant construction, flame-retardant option, 0.06-0.12s residence time, 2.5 cm media bed width, and absorb 15 liters of air per pair at higher flow rate and lower pressure loss than conventional modules.

- BION AC (Activated Carbon) Filtration Media Virgin thermally activated anthracite active carbon for siloxane removal and high molecular weight hydrocarbon elimination in landfill biogas and industrial gas streams.
- BION DOD Filtration Media High purity impregnated activated carbon for neutralizing acids and VOCs in water treatment plants and industrial environments with high H2S absorption capacity.
- BION ACPA Filtration Media Phosphoric acid-impregnated media for ammonia and basic gas removal in odor control applications.
- BION Carb OX Filtration Media High-quality wood activated carbon with inorganic catalytic phases for H2S removal with up to 80% weight capacity (80 kg H2S per 100 kg media) without sulfuric acid conversion.
- BION Clear Filtration Media Sodium thiosulfate-impregnated clay for chlorine and acid vapor elimination. Achieves greater than 99.9% chlorine removal efficiency with output below 50 ppbv, and up to 9% weight capacity for chlorine.
- BION KOH Filtration Media High-quality potassium hydroxide media for improved H2S removal and treatment of certain VOCs and mercaptans in biogas applications.
- BION Active Max Filtration Media Media for VOC elimination in biogas and odor control applications.
- PBS (Parallel Bed Scrubber) Multi-stage packed bed scrubber system for industrial corrosion control and gas filtration. Combines particle and gas removal media in multiple filter stages, configured for each project's gas composition, flow rate, and humidity.
- SAH (Side Access Holder) Modular filter units with lateral access for easy media replacement in industrial environments. Designed for lower pressure drop at standard face velocities of 1.27-2.54 m/s.
- UPP (Unidad de Presurización Positiva) Positive Pressurization Unit Positive pressurization units for protecting electrical and electronic equipment in control rooms and sensitive enclosures from corrosive atmospheres in industrial facilities such as refineries and pulp and paper plants.
- Laboratory Services In-house laboratory services including corrosion coupon analysis, media life-remaining analysis, and environmental gas analysis to support custom solution design and ongoing media performance validation for industrial and post-harvest customers.
