SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (August 31, 2021) – A Florida municipal wastewater treatment plant suffered a catastrophic aeration equipment failure, eliminating its oxygen source causing a rapid depletion of its biomass, the bacteria responsible for reducing biological oxygen demand (BOD), hydro sulfides, and ammonia in wastewater. As a result, the plant immediately began generating obnoxious odors affecting surrounding neighborhoods and businesses. Odor complaints quickly followed.
Streamline Innovations was asked to provide an emergency treatment solution to eliminate odor complaints as well as provide desperately needed dissolved oxygen (DO) to the aeration basin. The solution utilized was the TALON Sulfide Elimination System™ (TSES) to rapidly oxidize sulfonated organics in the wastewater influent. The TSES Process utilizes the TALON Catalyst and Hydrogen Peroxide, delivered via metering pumps, totes of chemistry and H2S sensors.
Within 24 hours of TSES installation, no malodorous compounds were detected by plant personnel or adjacent neighborhoods. Furthermore, the TSES Process increased DO from <.1 mg/l to an average of 1.2 mg/l which allowed for increased biologic activity under a reduced mixed liquor level. The TSES process was used until sufficient upgrades allowed conventional secondary treatment.
While TALON is better known for treating H2S in natural gas and biogas, it is equally effective in treating wastewater odor control problems and has been used to treat trillions of gallons of wastewater since its invention.
As a green, environmentally forward, biodegradable liquid Redox chemistry, TALON is the right solution for solving complex challenges in treating H2S, Mercaptans, and related compounds. Streamline can deploy TALON into wastewater collection systems, lift stations, wastewater treatment plants, storage basins, and related industries, such as food processing, rendering, pulp and paper, and waste management.
About Streamline Innovations
Streamline Innovation’s vision is Eliminating Emissions Through Technology. We help heavy industry around the world achieve environmental performance objectives, improve sustainability, and transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.
Streamline’s environmentally forward H2S treating solutions help achieve the “E” in ESG. H2S is present in many industrial processes throughout the world. Our technology can be applied across industries, delivering a sustainable solution that eliminates H2S, a leading cause of human inhalation accidents and SO2 emissions when burned, a primary cause of acid rain. TALON™ chemistry treats effectively in both gas and water phases.
We also believe that achieving ESG directives requires data. Creating intelligent systems that operate effectively and efficiently without human intervention is critical to measuring and reducing emissions that harm the environment. We integrate advanced process control, data collection and analytics in our technologies to provide a total solution for customers.
We serve organizations in multiple sectors, including Energy/Oil & Gas, Biogas, Landfill Gas & Renewable Fuels, Municipal Wastewater and Industrial Air & Water.
