Elimination of Hydrogen Sulfide(H2S) using Oxygen from Ambient Air

Odor and corrosion in collection systems has long been an issue for Wastewater operators. Today, with population moving in closer proximity to once remote odor sources like lift stations and wastewater plants, there is in increasing demand on those operating these wastewater systems to mitigate these odors. Odor and corrosion control is a full time job for many Wastewater Authorities.While there are no shortage of companies offering new and improved technologies, one technology has been in use successfully for over 40 years. This technology, today offered by Theia and Venturi Aeration, is the simplest and most effective technology for the elimination of odors and corrosion caused by Sulfides. The technology enjoys a near perfect record of success and has been employed in a variety of applications for wastewater and leachate.The efficiency and effectiveness of this approach has invited a number of competitors but it is still usually the most effective as well as the most cost effective approach to the mitigation or elimination of odors and corrosion in collection systems, headworks, septage facilities, sludge tanks, and wastewater treatment plants.This technology, first called the “Hydro-Vac” then the Venturi Aerator and today is known best as the “Oxygenator” is a powerful tool in the war against odor and corrosion for today’s wastewater operator. Part of its success is a result of the judicious and careful application of this technology and in the under-promising and over-performance of the team promoting its use.
