Odor Abatement Solutions
Odors generated in various portions of a wastewater collection or treatment system have the ability to generate offensive and dangerous odors. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, toxic gas with a foul, pungent odor similar to that of rotten eggs. Often referred to as sewer gas, H2S is a result of the anaerobic breakdown of sulfates by Desulfovibrio desulficans bacteria. Controlling this gas is one of the most challenging aspects facing the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment industry today. The gas is highly toxic to humans and will breakdown to corrosive sulfuric acid. Exposure to as little as one part per million (PPM) of H2S can cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system. H2S, mercaptans and Volitile Organic Acids are common contributors various nuisance odors that are offensive and if left untreated can also be a safety and legal concern.
