The treatment of them to reduce the presence of chemical elements such as mercaptans, VOC, NH3, or H2S turn out to be essential, both for the health of the personnel operating the facilities, as well as to avoid a corrosive environment and reduce the impact of bad odours.
There is also another measure to quantify the odour generated by an installation which does not correspond to any specific chemical element, but rather is an index of
"olfactory reference" and which is analysed by personnel specialized in approved laboratories.
This parameter is measured in odour units per unit volume (UO / m3)..
We have biological treatment solutions such as:
Biotrickling
Bio scrubber
Biofilters
Chemical washing / deodorization towers
Activated carbon filters
