Description
Most industries in the food sector generate strong odors in their processes and their waste water treatments, which has a strong environmental impact on surrounding areas. The main objective of this project is to develop odor treatment techniques which provide more efficient and viable solutions than conventional treatments. Once the project is completed, a new deodorization technology will be developed which will provide for the removal of more than 80% of odors in water and industrial treatments. Odor control and treatment is a primary environmental issue for these industrial facilities, especially when they are located close to residential areas. Sadyt will expand its knowledge on the characterization of odors in waste water treatment plants and KHAI will determine the right technology for the treatment of its emissions and then install it in its factories
Summary of project results
There is a clear technological limitation to reduce, in a very efficiency way, the odor that is generated by industrial water treatment plants. Sometimes, the problems produced by odors, may determine the place where factories can locate. In our case, KHAI has the need to develop solutions to reduce all the impacts that its activity produces. On the other hand, SADYT as an expert in water treatments needs to develop and control alternatives which can improve their services, and minimize some of their impacts as odor emissions. At the same time, the future legislations will be more restrictive so it is necessary to develop alternative solutions that can reduce to the minimum the concentration of odor components. As a result of this project, SADYT and KHAI will have more knowledge about how to reduce the odor problems thanks to the development of different technologies with a high level of efficiency and new methods to control the main points where odor is generated.
