This webcast took place on Thursday, February 15, 2018, from 1:00 - 2:30 PM Eastern.
Frequently, municipal managers, operators, and engineers are faced with important questions about “How can we provide temporary or interim odor control while/when we...:"
- “...demolish an existing odor control system and before the new system is fully functional?”
- “...work on fixing sewer lines or pump stations and when we dig up pipes we create odors?”
- “...take an existing odor control system off line for repairs and there is no redundant treatment train?”
- “...have odor complaints but haven’t completed construction of our new odor control systems?”
There are practical solutions to these issues, that are driven by concerns to be a good neighbor and sometimes by regulatory priorities, and this webcast will help by focusing on three major categories for temporary odor control:
- Temporary Construction & Process Techniques
- Chemical Addition
- Portable Odor Control Systems
Our speakers will discuss construction and modification concepts to temporarily suppress odor formation and release. Also, by sequencing work, enhancing dispersion and using existing resources such as activated sludge diffusion, downtime can be minimized. In some instances, temporary chemical addition stations can be set up quickly to alleviate and control odors and these units could be left in place as long term back up. In addition, portable odor control systems can be purchased or rented and brought to a site. For example, carbon is a good portable odor treatment choice because it works immediately and it can be installed in roll-off containers or housed in vessels on enclosed or open trailers hauled by heavy duty pick-up trucks.
