Odor removal in municipal wastewater treatment plants - Case studies

Abstract

This chapter presents eight different case studies from both designers and end users of biological odor control technologies at municipal wastewater treatment plants. These case studies represent typical applications in the field. However, since odors are generated from the various stages of the wastewater treatment process, as well as at collection and pumping stations, the system designs and airstreams treated are individually unique. The studies are provided based on published information and personal communication with the system designers and end users. No endorsement for any of the systems is implied. For each case study, details regarding system design, operation, and performance are provided. Also, a summary table for each application is included. The reader is encouraged to seek out more information with the individual designer and|or end user of each system. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
