THE PROBLEM

The Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre (ROPEC) was undergoing needed upgrades and expansions to its thickening and dewatering building. This building plays a vital role by in water treatment providing sewage receiving and pumping, sludge mixing and thickening, as well as dewatering digested biosolids. These processes release H2S, Ammonia, and other VOC’s into the air, which cause unpleasant odors. Due to the expansion, the need for additional odor control solutions with large airflow capacity became vitally important to prevent any increased odor and gas releases. ROPEC needed a unique solution to remove the high volume of these gases from the air at high efficiency levels.
