The testing of filtering materials based on basalt fibers that are used in the current industry and nonwoven materials of different densities as carriers for petrooxidizing microorganisms has been carried out. A biofilter containing the basalt fibers modified by cationic starch (0.5 mg/сm³) proved to be most effective for the support of stable colonies of Rhodotorula sp. and for  the water decontamination from oil products.

Key words:  biofilters,  immobilized microorganisms,  oil-polluted waste water.
