INDUSTRIAL ODOUR TREATMENT AND ABATEMENT IN FOOD INDUSTRY

Some production scraps of the industrial sector may give rise to odour and disposal problems, whose solution is often highly costly, both economically and in terms of time and resources. Ejections, malodorous waste and undesired by-products are just a few examples of odour sources whose associated problems get daily resolved in BMB. Industrial odour treatment is a widespread problem in the food industry.

CLIENT’S NEED

Industrial odour treatment
Abatement of NH₃ emissions

TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYED

Washing Tower (Scrubber)
Closed biofilter modules

POLLUTANTS ABATEMENT

Odour removal efficiency ≥ 98%
NH3 abatement (ammonia) ≥ 99%

STRENGTHS

Energy efficiency
Reduction of management costs

CONTEXT: INDUSTRIAL ODOUR TREATMENT IN THE FOOD SECTOR

In the food industry there are multiple odour sources, yet animal ejections are undoubtedly among the most complex and tedious to manage. As a matter of fact, livestock ejections are the cause of odours and represent a serious environmental issue, as the regulatory framework suggests. The high concentration of ammonia NH3 and the persistent and unpleasant olfactory trace represented the main problematics BMB took charge of.

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

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.
