Green Odor Control

Water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), landfills, and other wastewater sites are facing increased pressures to reduce odor emissions around workers and surrounding communities. Consequently, odor control is evolving into a key element of wastewater treatment. Eliminating troublesome odors from large facilities, however, is easier said than done. Some facilities implement multi-million-dollar ventilation systems, which often produce mixed results. Others use methods such as masking agents that do little other than temporarily cover odors, providing limited relief. Natural, plant-based odor control solutions are being implemented to neutralize the odor molecules in facilities where masking agents fail to accomplish more than temporary coverup.
