After installing a biofilter to control odors at its Ohio
wastewater treatment plant, Dannon Yogurt still faced
complaints from nearby residents.
THE PROBLEM
Dannon Yogurt has a plant dedicated to making Greek yogurt in Minster, OH. Dannon features its own wastewater plant on site to manage the waste byproduct of the cream used to make the yogurt.
Complaints from surrounding neighbors regarding odor began to filter in. Dannon installed a biofilter unit to
remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas and other noxious odors. The biofilter removed the gas, but unfortunately
created additional odors in the process. Dannon went to the biofilter manufacturer for assistance but was unable
to obtain a solution.
