We have discussed the importance of understanding the source and concentration of an odor issue before selecting the type of treatment or odor control system. In addition to these critical items is the consideration of operating costs.
Many types of odor control systems work and remove odors, but selecting and designing a system that works efficiently and effectively without breaking the bank can be challenging.
For a design professional and the system supplier, it is essential to consider what an owner, and their operators, will face to maintain the odor control system.
For example, carbon absorption has been around for many years and is a very effective method for removing noxious odors from an air stream. However, the use of carbon in municipal operations is seldom seen these days due to the extreme cost of disposal or on-site regeneration of the carbon once it has been spent. The same can be said about other odor control processes that utilize chemicals, such as potassium permanganate.
If odor concentrations are high enough, an operator or owner could experience weekly or monthly changes out of media or increased consumption of chemicals. This is a good razor blade business for suppliers but tends to make customers who pay the bills less happy.
The operating costs and additional downtime associated with an odor control system should always be considered when selecting the correct type of odor control system. Other considerations we will discuss later are where the odor control system will be placed into operation.
