TOPIC : WASTEWATER ODOR CONTROL:
A PRESENTATION AND EVALUATION OF TECHNOLOGIES
In the modern world of wastewater treatment, control of odours has moved from an afterthought to a primary design consideration for most collection and treatment facilities. As development encroaches on our facilities and our new neighbours become less tolerant of nuisance odours, wastewater professionals have found the need to address odour as a primary concern in the design and in the operation of collection and treatment facilities. As the attention paid to odour control has increased, so has the number of odours control technologies that are available in the marketplace.
The presentation provides a comprehensive review of the technologies available for the control of odours in wastewater treatment facilities and provides a selection guide for the technologies based on parameters including treatment objectives, operational demands, capital cost, and operating cost. The vapour phase technologies presented are:
• Biofiltration, a biological technology with low operating costs.
• Wet Air Scrubbing, a reliable technology for chemical treatment.
• Adsorption, a well-established technology using a dry media.
