Sewage treatment plants (STPs) are crucial for maintaining hygiene, protecting the environment, and ensuring wastewater is treated responsibly. However, one major challenge faced by many facilities is managing unpleasant smells. Sewage treatment plant odour control is not just a comfort issue—it’s essential for regulatory compliance, public health, and operational efficiency.
At Aqoza, we understand how persistent and disruptive odour issues can be. That’s why we offer advanced and customized solutions to control and eliminate odour effectively in STPs across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
Why Is Odour Control Important in STPs?
Odour in STPs typically comes from gases released during the breakdown of organic matter. These include hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia (NH₃), and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Without a proper Sewage Treatment Plant Odour Control system, these gases can escape into the surrounding environment, creating health hazards and discomfort for nearby communities.
Causes of Odour in Sewage Treatment Plants
Understanding the root causes of odour is the first step to solving the problem:
- Poor ventilation in treatment tanks
- Anaerobic bacterial activity
- Accumulated sludge and scum layers
- Inadequate aeration
- Lack of proper chemical treatment
Each facility has different factors contributing to odour, which is why Aqoza provides tailored solutions based on a comprehensive site analysis.
Aqoza’s Odour Control Solutions
Aqoza delivers modern, efficient, and sustainable sewage treatment plant odour control technologies. Our approach combines innovation with practical design to minimize both cost and environmental impact.
- Biofilters
Biofilters use natural microorganisms to break down odorous compounds before they escape into the air. They are eco-friendly, low-maintenance, and highly effective.
- Activated Carbon Systems
Activated carbon filters absorb gases like H₂S and VOCs, making them one of the most reliable technologies for sewage treatment plant odour control.
- Chemical Scrubbers
These systems use neutralizing agents such as sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide to chemically eliminate harmful and smelly gases.
- Enzymatic Deodorizers
Aqoza’s biological deodorizers work at the molecular level to neutralize odour without masking it—safe for long-term use and friendly to the environment.
- Improved Ventilation and Aeration
Enhancing the aeration process inside tanks and improving overall air circulation helps in reducing the conditions that cause foul odours. We provide design modifications and retrofitting services to improve airflow and tank efficiency.
