CASE STUDY: waste water odour abatement
INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER ODOUR ABATEMENT
BMB Purification BFF filters can be applied to all cases that require reduction of odours and pollutants deriving from coverings of sink tanks, sludge thickening and float units. BFF filters are widely used in the treatment of pollutant and odorous substances generated by civil and industrial effluents treatment tanks.
CLIENT’S NEED
Abatement of odours coming from sulphur-based compounds.
TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYED
Photocatalytic filtering through Carbon Footprint certified BFF filters.
POLLUTANTS ABATEMENT
Odour removal efficiency ≥ 98%
STRENGTHS
High performance abatement with no use of electricity
High energy saving
No environmental impact
CONTEXT
In an industrial establishment, a storage and homogenisation tank collects water coming from production processes. As a consequence, the tank presents issues related to the insurgence of bad odours principally caused by sulphur-based compounds. The typology of inlet wastewater varies significantly and presents traces of concentration of substances with high odorous content. BMB purification design and project an plant to industrial waste water odour abatement, read the case study.
EXAMPLE OF PLANT TO INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER ODOUR ABATEMENT
CHALLENGES
EFFICIENCY AND OPTIMISATION
Challenges to face while treating odorous sources generated by waste mainly concern the strategic design and plant optimization. To guarantee an efficient aspiration in waste treatment rooms, focused and strategic in critical points to avoid any spreading of dust, was the priority of BMB. Moreover, in this case it was necessary to limit the visual impact of the treatment system and appropriately sanitise the air before releasing the same in the atmosphere.

SOLUTION
PHOTOCATALYTIC FILTERING
The appointed tank has been closed with a PRFV-covered (fiberglass) structure, a material selected for its lightness, solidity and high resistance to aggressive chemical reagents.
On top of the tank, 10 photocatalytic filters have been positioned, allowing the natural outflow of the air both during tank emptying (inbreathing) and tank filling (outbreathing) processes.

FAQs about waste water odour abatement
What is the waste water odour abatement?
Waste water odor abatement refers to the process of reducing and eliminating unpleasant odors produced by wastewater treatment, especially from sources like sludge tanks and effluent treatment units. It involves the use of technologies, such as photocatalytic filtering, to remove odorous compounds like sulfur-based substances, achieving high removal efficiency without using electricity, thus providing an eco-friendly and energy-efficient solution.
How does the waste water odour abatement work?
Wastewater odor abatement works by using advanced filtration technologies, such as photocatalytic filters, to eliminate unpleasant odors from wastewater treatment processes. In this method, filters are placed over tanks or treatment areas to capture and neutralize sulfur-based compounds and other odorous substances. The filtration process is powered by natural airflow, eliminating the need for electricity, and it ensures that air is purified during both tank filling and emptying, achieving high odor removal efficiency with minimal environmental impact.
What are the benefits of using wastewater odour abatement treatment?
The benefits of using wastewater odor abatement treatment include high efficiency in removing unpleasant odors, particularly sulfur-based compounds, with up to 98% odor removal. Additionally, the system operates without the need for electricity, ensuring energy savings and reducing environmental impact. It also offers minimal maintenance, high performance, and can be easily integrated into existing wastewater treatment systems.
Where is a wastewater odour abatement commonly used?
Waste water odor abatement is commonly used in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants, particularly in areas where wastewater is stored, such as sludge tanks, homogenization tanks, and floatation units. It is also applied in sectors dealing with high concentrations of odorous compounds, such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and sewage treatment facilities.
