Odor control technologies can be grouped into five distinct categories:
- Chemical Absorption: acid and caustic wet scrubbing - Biological Oxidation: bio-filtration, bio-scrubbing, bio trickling filtration - Adsorption: activated carbon and other adsorptive medias - A combination of the above systems are usually used .for biological oxidation and chemical scrubbing - UV photoionization
Emission sources that require odor control:
- Pump stations - Wet well - Sludge dewatering - Manholes - Air valve chambers - Sludge trans-shipment operations from silo into trucks
