| We have an odor control system that actually works fairly well. However, there is one very substantial drawback. The system collects air from around the plant then runs it through the blowers and discharges it into the aeration tanks. The blowers are constant speed with actuator valves which adjust to regulate air volume. Dispite our efforts, 'bad' air escapes into the blower building and has taken a heavy toll on all our electronics (H2SO4 loves to eat copper). It also corrodes the actuator and check valves causing them to malfuction repeatedly.
I want to take the 'bad' air out of the blower building and not run it through the blowers -- but I would still like to discharge it into the aeration tanks since this does not require any special media or chemical addition.
I am seaking an alternative .......... Any suggestions?

| What about just scrubbing the air intake flow into the blower building?

| Jeff,
Thanks for the response but it is beginning to look like I have no real alternative but to go with some sort of scrubber.......

| | I bought a small portable ozone generator for my apartment for mold control, as I live in the tropics.The ozone was to much for me, even at the lowest setting (5 second generation every 60 seconds),in this small area. To much ozone can harm your respitory system and I was getting sore throats that would last until I went outside. I took the generator to the WWTP where I work and put it in the headworks and cranked it all the way up at the opposite side of the dual fan exhaust blowers. You know it works pretty well. The odors were dimished considerably. The ozone is pulled out and no one stays in that room very long. |
