Municipal Wastewater Odor Control and H2S Removal
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has long been recognized as one of the costliest issues for municipal and industrial wastewater systems. This colorless gas is generated by anaerobic bacteria that persist throughout an entire system including force mains, lift stations, headworks, holding tanks, biosolids dewatering equipment and digesters.
In addition to its foul odor, H2S will form sulfuric acid and corrodes a variety of materials including concrete and metals. The Water Environment Federation estimates H2S corrosion causes $14 billion per year in sewer asset losses.
Additionally, H2S is a major health and safety concern for operations personnel and is the leading cause of gas inhalation deaths in the United States according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Streamline’s TALON® Reagent has been used to successfully treat H2S in more than a billion gallons of wastewater daily around the world. Streamline works with Utilities and Industry to develop the best solution for addressing the issues caused by H2S in both gaseous and aqueous forms.
