If you need to mitigate aggressive odors, unproven equipment invites a risk of continued problems. Without an odor specialist on staff, how can you know who or what to trust?
You need a system with a strong track record.
H2S removal performance data
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a common cause of industrial odor, typically noticed as that “rotten egg” smell. The table below compiles the data regarding H2S removal from just a few of our industrial and municipal odor control projects that have been installed during the past fifteen years. It illustrates the reliability of our equipment and our process.
These projects are among hundreds of successful installations on different continents, with different goals and challenges. The equipment itself differs from project to project, as does the H2S removal performance we guaranteed to the customer. They operate in various climates, from summers in the Middle East to winters in Canada. And the customers operating the equipment have unique backgrounds. They manage and maintain their facilities to meet different standards.
Odor is a tricky challenge. Anything less than 99% removal of H2S can leave noticeable odor in the area. Despite the differences between these projects, all achieved > 99% removal of H2S under the care of operators who received BioAir’s brief but comprehensive training. The equipment must prove reliable and simple to operate for any facility, not just those with an in-house odor control expert.
