Waste treatment
systems are well known sources
of foul odours. The most
prevalent of these are hydrogen
sulphide (H2S), ammonia
and volatile fatty acids.
Hydrogen sulphide is a result
of the anaerobic digestion
of sulphur containing compounds
by bacteria. The organisms
produce these dissolved
sulphides and release them
into their aqueous environment.
Water has a saturation point
for sulphides and when the
point is breached the sulphides
are liberated from the water
in the form of H2S gas.
OT200/400
was developed to eliminate
and control malodours originating
from waste water and sludge
storage lagoons. The product
works on three levels to
eliminate odours.
The
first is to introduce microbes
that use the malodorous
compounds produced as a
food source for their own
growth and in so doing eliminate
these before they are released
into the air.
Secondly, anaerobic bacteria
that are responsible for
the majority of malodours,
grow and reproduce more
slowly than the facultative
microbes present in OT200/400.
This means that if our
microbes can be applied
in sufficient quantities,
they will out compete
the sulphide producing
bacteria for food.
Thirdly, the microbes
present in our product
will work to reduce organic
waste in the system and
in so doing affect the
anoxic environments that
support the growth of
the sulphate reducing
bacteria.
Applications
Malodours
are formed in areas
of the sewer where
anaerobic conditions
occur. These are generally
characterised by areas
of low flow like rising
mains, pumping ‘wet
wells’ or sumps
and storage tanks
used to balance the
sewerage plant.
Food
processing waste handling
lagoons.
Animal waste sludge
and storage basins.
Domestic septic
tanks and grease traps.
Effluent ponds in
piggeries, poultry
farms, abattoirs and
dairy producers
Sewage pump stations
and sludge handling
facilities.
Benefits
Eliminate the unpleasant
odours and the impacts
of these on the public.
Reduces hydrogen
sulphide (H2S) induced
corrosion of metal
and concrete in waste
treatment works. (H2S
is a precursor for
the formation of sulphuric
acid)
Removes already
formed H2S and ammonia
compounds from the
system.
The product reduces
foul odours at source
and does not mask
the symptoms.
Improves safety
in confined spaces
by reducing H2S which
is considered toxic.
