THE PROBLEM

The Big Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Georgia faced persistent odor complaints from nearby residential neighborhoods. Like many treatment facilities, Big Creek needed an effective solution to remove hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and other odor-causing compounds from the air through gas-phase filtration. When evaluating odor-control technologies, the plant had to consider their unique constraints: limited available footprint and the need to accommodate an exceptionally high airflow. These factors made traditional odormitigation systems difficult to implement. After reviewing multiple options, Big Creek identified PureAir’s Radial Flow system as the only solution capable of meeting both the spatial limitations and their performance demands.
