This live webcast will take place on Tuesday, December 15, 2026, from 1:00 - 2:30 PM Eastern. The webcast recording will be available within 24 hours after the webcast ends.
This webcast builds on the WEFTEC 2026 Workshop W12 Vapor Phase Odor Control: Avoiding Pitfalls, Achieving Performance, and will provide a practical overview of the fundamentals of vapor phase odor control at wastewater collection and treatment facilities. The webcast will explore how effective containment and ventilation provide the foundation for odor capture and treatment, followed by an overview of the major vapor phase treatment technologies used in wastewater applications.
The webcast will compare activated carbon, biological treatment, and chemical scrubbing, including their applications, configurations, treatment mechanisms, and operational considerations. Key factors that influence technology selection will be presented, including characteristics and concentrations, performance requirements, and site constraints.
The webcast will also address practical O&M considerations for vapor phase odor control systems, including maintenance needs, operational challenges, and vessel configurations. The session will conclude by highlighting how these fundamentals work together to support reliable, long-term odor control performance.
