Hi There,
We have both wet chemical scrubbers, and bio-bark bed odor scrubbers in our contract.Both of which work well most of the time, but have draw backs. The bark bed does not cope well with hogh flows or really pungent odors, and the chemical scrubber I operate uses a lot of chemiclas, pH maintenance is tricky and we have added chlorine on top of the caustic soda to add efficiency.
The best scrubber my company operates is a duel chemical wet scrubber, with two media towers in series, one dosing caustic soda liquid to pH 10, then either peroxide or chlorine.
This two step attack seems to do a great job removing odor, and the large facility using this, negates all odors to the boundary.
Hope that helps.
