Usuwanie nieprzyjemnych zapachów

   Systemy biologicznej kontroli zapachów, okazały się jedną z najlepszych alternatyw w ostatnich latach. Ich konkurencyjność wynika nie tylko z ich wysokiej skuteczności usuwania związków zapachowych, ale również z ich niskich kosztów operacyjnych i konserwacji, w porównaniu z chemiczną płuczką.

   In order to demonstrate these benefits, EcoVerde made a comparison between chemical scrubbers and bioscrubbers. The evaluation was performed based on historical data on the installed chemical scrubbers versus data gathered on equipment provided by EcoVerde.

   A waste facility in the United Kingdom processes food waste via anaerobic digestion. The site is in a mainly rural location with a number of isolated properties at least 500 m from the site boundary, so odour control is mandatory to protect harmful conditions to the environment and avoid odour nuisances.

   The plant was commissioned using an ORGUS^® double stage biofilter system with coconut fibre as packing material. The performance of the system was measured in February 2014. Olfactometric samples were undertaken, obtaining an average outlet odour concentration considerably lower than the discharge emission limit stipulated in the contract.
