Odor control system

The Mytilus™ bioscrubber/biotrickling filter from Biorem helps eliminate odors, H2S, NH3 and other water soluble contaminants from foul air streams. Ideal for WWTPs and sewage pumping stations, it is compact and cheaper to run than carbon or chemical scrubbers. With over 450 installation worldwide, Biorem offers biological systems for the control of odors, H2S, VOCs and other hazardous air pollutants.

H2S removal

Biothane’s Biopuric system is designed to remove hydrogen sulfide from biogas from various sources, including anaerobic wastewater or sludge reactors. The biological scrubber process uses bacteria instead of chemicals to achieve mass transfer. There are currently nearly two dozen Biopuric installations at wastewater treatment plants worldwide. One installation at a very large municipal wastewater treatment plant near Santiago, Chile, has been running successfully for over two years, and construction of another large municipal installation is currently underway near Amman, Jordan.

H2S reduction

Cellinite BioTabs™ can be used to mitigate odors in wastewater treatment. The bioremediation product reduces anaerobic bacteria production of hydrogen sulfide by creating an aerobic environment through its patented oxygen delivery system. The non-hazardous treatment is effective because the tablets descend to the bottom of the wastewater where they begin to work by super-oxygenating the entire environment. Using the tablets replaces the need for additional equipment, measuring, or handling of messy and hazardous chemicals.
