Deodorization at wastewater treatment plants

Odor control at wastewater treatment plants is essential to improve both the living environment and the efficiency of treatment processes. Wastewater treatment plants can emit unpleasant odors due to the presence of substances such as hydrogen sulphide and ammonia. These odors can cause nuisance to local residents, which can lead to complaints and have a negative impact on air quality.

Odor control

Implementing odor control systems contributes to a better living environment and helps to strengthen the relationship with the local community. In addition, odor control can also provide operational benefits. By limiting odor emissions, corrosive gases can be reduced, resulting in less wear and tear on equipment and lower maintenance costs.

Modern odor control techniques, such as biofilters, chemical scrubbers and activated carbon filters, offer efficient solutions to minimise odor problems but are often insufficient, allowing residual odor to escape.

QM Environmental International supplies a number of innovative odor control solutions that can prevent the formation of odor in the wastewater treatment process. In addition, for odor that escapes into the atmosphere, QM has the Dry Vapor System that effectively neutralizes odors in the air based on dry vapor technology.

MicroCat®-ANL is a liquid mixture of selected, adapted micro-organisms for use under anoxic and anaerobic conditions. The product is formulated for use in sludge, compost, contaminated soil and wastewater to suppress odors and enhance biodegradation when available oxygen is limited.

Applications:

  • Sewers & sewage pumping stations
  • Primary settling tanks
  • Facultative lagoons
  • Sludge processing

MicroCat®-ANL is easy to dose with a dosing pump.

Shelf life: 1 year

MicroCat®-ANL is available in:

  • 20 Liter jerrycans

Dry Vapor Unit

The Dry Vapor Unit (D.V.U.) is an innovative solution to effectively address odor problems. This system neutralizes odors without the use of water, making it an efficient and sustainable choice for both indoor and outdoor use. It is particularly suitable for industrial wastewater and sewage treatment applications, where it can be used to control odors from sludge dewatering areas, sludge storage tanks and other areas where odors can manifest.

Key benefits of the Dry Vapor Unit include:

  • No water needed
  • Can be used anywhere (in buildings, open areas, chimneys and ventilation systems)
  • Has a direct effect
  • Easy to install and operate
  • No need for large storage tanks or fans
  • Economical in use

The D.V.U. uses a unique deodorizing fluid, QM-OxiMax, which neutralizes a very wide range of odors. The D.V.U. is available in different versions, DV20, DV50 and DV150. The perimeter of the area to be deodorized determines which type of D.V.U. should be used.

Applications:

  • Wastewater treatment plants
    • Sewage pumping station buildings
    • Wastewater reception buildings (inletworks)
    • Sludge storage basins
    • Sludge dewatering buildings and sludge transfer
    • Containers with sludge dewatering systems
  • Manufacturing industry
    • Chemical / Petrochemical industry
    • Refineries
    • Food industry
    • Paper industry
  • Waste processing, storage and transport
  • Composting facilities
  • Laboratories
