Unpleasant odours are one of the most common and problematic byproducts of wastewater treatment facilities. Left unmanaged, these odours can negatively impact surrounding communities, create health concerns, and damage the reputation of treatment plants. At Aqoza, we understand the complexities of odour control in wastewater treatment and offer advanced solutions to tackle these challenges head-on.
Why Odour Control Matters
Wastewater, by its nature, contains a mix of organic and inorganic materials that break down and release gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases are the primary sources of foul odours, and their accumulation can pose both environmental and occupational hazards.
Effective Odour Control In Wastewater Treatment is not just about eliminating smells—it’s about ensuring regulatory compliance, protecting worker safety, and maintaining strong community relations.
Aqoza’s Approach to Odour Control
At Aqoza, we combine innovation with industry expertise to provide comprehensive odour control solutions tailored to the specific needs of each facility. Our approach includes:
- Source Identification and Monitoring
Before implementing any control system, our team conducts a detailed assessment to identify odour hotspots and the types of odorous compounds present. Using state-of-the-art gas monitoring and sensing equipment, we can map odour intensity and track emissions in real time.
- Advanced Scrubbing Systems
We deploy chemical and biological scrubbers to neutralize odorous gases effectively. Chemical scrubbers use oxidizing agents like sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide to break down harmful compounds, while bio-scrubbers utilize naturally occurring bacteria to degrade organic odours sustainably.
- Activated Carbon Filters
For facilities with moderate odour loads, we provide high-efficiency activated carbon filters that adsorb VOCs and H₂S molecules. These systems are ideal for point-source control and can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure.
- Mist and Vapour Phase Odour Neutralizers
Our environmentally safe odour neutralizing agents can be sprayed as mist or vaporized into the air to bind and eliminate offensive compounds. These solutions are perfect for open tanks, lagoons, or sludge handling areas.
- Enclosed Systems and Covers
To prevent odour escape at the source, we design and install durable covers and enclosures that help contain emissions. These systems are often combined with ventilation and filtration for maximum effectiveness.
