Innovative Odor Control Technology For The Wastewater Industry
Traditional odor control methods such as chemical-based wet scrubbers, bio-filters, or carbon adsorption systems are both capital and maintenance intensive. The Air+ approach provides unique technology for odor control with much lower total cost of ownership.
Unlike legacy odor control systems that utilize carbon, chemicals, or biological media to scrub air exhausted out of a building or headspace, Air+ ionization systems supply highly ionized air to the application areas. These ions proactively attack the odorous compounds at the source, while vastly improving indoor working conditions. An exhaust fan is used to keep the building under a slight negative pressure to avoid fugitive odors. Application areas include:
- Headworks Buildings
- Dewatering Rooms
- Truck Loading Facilities
- Process Tank Headspaces
- Large Pump/Lift Stations and Wet Wells
Revolutionize Odor Control: Air+ Supply Scrubber
Air+ Supply Scrubber ionization systems are custom engineered to address a wide range of airflow rates and contaminant concentrations. Effective ionization system configuration requires an engineered ventilation design. Proper ductwork sizing, location, material selection, along with ionized air distribution and facility exhaust locations, are critical for system performance. A specific quantity of ionizers, based on system airflow requirements, are housed in a custom designed air handler.
The Air+ Supply Scrubber is a custom outdoor air handler that supplies ionized air for odor control and corrosion protection, with optional heating integration.
Air+ Odor Control Technology Delivers:
- Cost Effective Odor Removal – Removes odors with a relatively small footprint that requires no storage tanks and incorporates optional heating systems.
- Corrosion Control – By proactively attacking H2S and other corrosive gases inside the application area, the corrosion of metal components is significantly reduced or eliminated.
- Reduced Maintenance – With no moving parts other than fans, Air+ systems require minimal maintenance, costing typically 60-70% less than competing exhaust-only systems. Chemical pump maintenance, reordering of chemicals, and replacement of carbon media are not required.
- Low Energy Consumption – One Air+ ionization unit effectively treats 500 to 1000 CFM, but only requires 50 watts of power. Since ionization systems utilize the facility volume as a reaction chamber instead of using a tank as with exhaust-only scrubbers, pressure drop is low and the resulting fan power requirement is 75-80% less than traditional solutions.
- No Chemicals Required – Air+ ionization technology generates positive and negative ions with highly oxidative capacity that break down a wide variety of wastewater-related, odorous compounds without the use of costly and hazardous chemicals.
- Retrofit into Existing Facilities – Air+ systems can be retrofit into existing HVAC air handlers, resulting in significant capital cost and installation savings. For those facilities without HVAC systems, Air+ equipment requires a relatively small footprint.
