Wastewater Treatment & Odour Control
The Wastewater Odour Treatment Installation is an environmental air-treatment application associated with wastewater treatment infrastructure in Turkey.
Wastewater treatment processes can release odorous compounds during the handling, separation and biological treatment of wastewater and sludge.
The installation uses a combination of tower scrubbers and biological filtration to treat extracted process air.
Scrubbing provides an initial treatment stage through gas-liquid contact, allowing suitable airborne compounds to be transferred from the air stream into a treatment liquid.
Biological filtration provides a complementary treatment mechanism, using microorganisms within a filter medium to break down biodegradable odorous substances.
The documented system includes treatment lines rated at 6,000 m³/hour and 5,000 m³/hour, demonstrating the application of combined air-treatment technologies to wastewater-related emissions.
