ODOR REMOVAL SYSTEMS
ODOR REMOVAL SYSTEMS
Odor Removal Systems are particularly used for reducing or completely eliminating foul odors that are produced in Wastewater Pumping Stations and Wastewater Treatment Plants. The units where foul odors are produced are pumping stations, intake structures, grid structures, sludge thickening and digestion tanks, sludge dewatering units, in addition to stages of dewatered sludge conveyance and storage.
The odor encountered in Wastewater Treatment Plants arises mainly from chemicals and organic substances that are received with the wastewater. Primary chemical compounds that cause foul odors are:
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
- Ammonia (NH3)
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
- NOx Compounds
The most suitable solution to be used in Odor Removal Systems is selected according to plant capacity and properties, among other various options that are specified below.
