Wastewater Odor Control in the Spotlight
Odor control at municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities has become a primary concern, as population growth brings more people into proximity of wastewater operations.
Residential communities are less tolerant of nuisance odors, and failure to cost-effectively control noxious odors can result in significant fines, damage corporate reputations and stress goodwill with communities.
H2S is the Problem
At the root of most odors generated from wastewater operations is hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is a naturally occurring compound generated by bacterial breakdown or decomposition of organic material, both plant and animal, in anaerobic (absence of oxygen) conditions.
Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic, poisonous gas that is destructive to infrastructure and can be deadly to humans. H2S treatment is a critical concern for wastewater odor control.
Exposure to hydrogen sulfide may cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system. It can also cause apnea, coma, convulsions, dizziness, headache, weakness, irritability, insomnia and stomach issues. (Source – CDC)
To find out how industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants tackle the H2S problem, we encourage you to read our latest white paper, Wastewater Odor Control Technology and Best Practices.
