Quick Overview on Estimation Odour Control Unit’s Capacity

To estimate the odour control unit capacity of wastewater treatment facility, two factors are taken into consideration:

●       The air volume of the process tanks causes odour.

●       Air exchange factors

Suppose you estimate the air volume of process tanks. In that case, you should keep in mind that in the case of a fixed water level tank, the freeboard air volume is considered, and in an unsettled water level, the air volume is considered from the lower level of water.

 While designing the odour control system capacity, it is vital to consider the air exchange factors. It has a great effect on both size and effectiveness of odour elimination. Nowadays, municipalities have prepared guidance on those air exchange factors while determining the capacities of the odour control system.

The air exchange factors for inlet works are deliberated in the range 12-15 of air volume, and for sludge treatment facilities, it is 6-12 air volume. It all depends on the aerated tanks, room ventilation, and many other things. Depending on these, the process engineer can get hold of the initial capacity of the wastewater odour control system, which is then verified by the manufacturers of the odour control system.
