How to Remove Smell from Sewage Treatment Plant: Aqoza’s Proven Approach to Odour Elimination Sewage treatment plants are essential for maintaining public health and environmental balance, but they often face one major concern—odour. The foul smells emanating from open tanks, sludge handling areas, and biological reactors can impact workers, disturb nearby communities, and compromise the plant’s reputation. At Aqoza, we specialize in eliminating these odours with precision, sustainability, and technological expertise. Understanding the Root Cause of Odour The distinct smell in Sewage Treatment Plants is typically caused by the breakdown of organic waste materials. This decomposition releases gases such as: •
Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) – a rotten egg-like smell that’s corrosive and toxic in high concentrations.
•
Ammonia (NH₃) – sharp and pungent, often released during the breakdown of nitrogen compounds.
•
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – a group of chemicals that contribute to odour and environmental pollution.
These gases originate from anaerobic zones, sludge digesters, and primary clarifiers. Controlling them at their source is the first step in effective odour mitigation.
Aqoza’s Multi-Stage Odour Control Strategy At Aqoza, we understand there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to odour control. That’s why we deliver customized systems built around your plant's specific layout, flow dynamics, and gas profile. Our proven solutions include: •
Activated Carbon Adsorption: High-efficiency carbon media absorbs and oxidizes odorous compounds. This system is compact, low-maintenance, and highly effective for point-source odours.
•
Bio-scrubbers (Biological Oxidation): Microorganisms are harnessed to break down odour-causing gases naturally. Ideal for consistent, high-load odour environments.
•
Chemical Scrubbing Units: These systems use reagents like sodium hydroxide or chlorine dioxide to neutralize harmful gases before they’re released.
•
Mist Control Systems: Aqoza’s misting technology disperses neutralizing agents into the air, ideal for open basins and sludge storage areas where enclosing the source isn’t practical.
