CASE STUDY: industrial odour treatment
RESEARCH ODOUR SOURCES
Certain industrial production wastes, particularly in the food industry, can give rise to odor and disposal issues, the resolution of which is often very costly, both financially and in terms of the time and resources required. Manure, malodorous waste, and unwanted byproducts are just a few examples of odor sources whose associated problems are solved daily by BMB thanks to its solutions for industrial odor treatment and air purification for food processing facilities.

INDUSTRIAL ODOR CONTROL: THE CONTEXT
In the food industry, there are many sources of odors, but animal waste is undoubtedly among the most complex and troublesome to manage. In fact, livestock waste causes unpleasant odors and serious environmental issues, as indicated by current regulations. The high ammonia (NH3) content and the persistent, unpleasant odor were the main challenges that BMB took on. In this context, the treatment of industrial odors using odor abatement systems for the food industry becomes a primary necessity.
THE INDUSTRIAL ODOR TREATMENT AND ABATEMENT PLANTS CREATED BY BMB PURIFICATION
CHALLENGES
PERFORMANCE AND COORDINATION
Creating an air purification system calibrated to specific parameters entailed numerous challenges, including the need to guarantee a high abatement of odours and NH3, while maintaining effective extraction of the production rooms. Another aspect that proved challenging was to create a plant capable of adapting to the simultaneous operation of several machines, to be controlled remotely and with easy access for maintenance.
SOLUTION
WET SCRUBBER AND BIOFILTERING MODULES
The purifier installed on site sends the odour- and pollutant-laden air to a wet scrubber tower, which is able to break down excess ammonia. Inside the scrubber, the polluted air is washed by a running aqueous solution, additivated with special reagents that neutralise the ammonia. Downstream of the wet scrubber, a battery of bio-filtering modules ensures the removal of odours, before evacuation to the stack.
TURNKEY PLANT
Each industrial air filtration system plant realized by BMB is custom designed after thorough field study. The initial study of condition, context and potential problems allows or technicians to propose targeted and tailored solutions, appointed plants and specific technologies for any kind of problem.

FAQs about industrial odour abatement plants
What are industrial odour treatment plants?
Industrial odor treatment plants are designed to remove and neutralize unpleasant odors and pollutants from industrial processes. Using technologies like washing towers (scrubbers) and closed biofilter modules, these systems efficiently eliminate odors and harmful substances such as ammonia, often achieving up to 98% odor removal and 99% ammonia abatement.
How do food industry odour abatement plants work?
Food industry odor abatement plants work by using a combination of wet scrubbers and biofiltering modules. The polluted air is first washed in a scrubber with a special aqueous solution to neutralize ammonia, then it passes through biofilters to remove remaining odors before being released into the atmosphere.
What are the benefits of using industrial odour abatement plants food industry?
Industrial odor abatement plants in the food industry offer benefits such as high odor and ammonia removal efficiency (up to 98% and 99%, respectively), energy efficiency, reduced management costs, and compliance with environmental regulations, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.
Where is industrial odour treatment commonly used?
Industrial odor treatment is commonly used in sectors such as the food industry, livestock farming, wastewater treatment, chemical production, and waste management, where strong odors and pollutants are generated during production processes.
