Dear Daniela,
The main reason of odor in the Treatment Plant and its vicinity is the emission of Hydrogen Sulfide which is already generated in the networks when sewage is flowing and collected in the sump of lifting & pumping stations. As the sewage arrives in STP this H2S emits out and create smell in STP as well as in the surroundings. So controlling the odor generation in these structures is highly essential.
Odor generation is completely a biological process. It produces in the slime layer developed in the structures and in the pipes along with growth & propagation of SRB (Sulfur Reducing Bacteria) in the slime. Please read "Quality Assessment of Water & Wastewater" published by CRC press to understand the process of Odor Generation.
The best process of controlling odor generation & emission shall be BIOLOGICAL. Secondly controlling process shall start from the inlet manhole of Lifting & Pumping Stations or in the network. Because we have to control the generation of odor not the emission only so it must be controlled at the ORIGIN.
This can't be controlled by using any spray or any chemical based process because these will give only temporary relief.
I have developed a technology ABR (Anoxic Bioremediation) Technology with Strict Anaerobic & Facultative Bacteria which give you permanent relief from your problem. you will get rid of odor within 2 hours from the treatment plant & within 24 hours from its vicinity. This is used in more than 100 projects in various countries with complete success. Best part of this technology is it will help to reduce the BOD, COD and Oil/grease levels in the Raw sewage. This treatment will take place when sewage is flowing in the pipes.
If interested please write to me mamta.tomar@jmenviro.com or mamta.tomar@gmail.com I'll send complete details.
