Odor Reduction - Juice Manufacturing Application Problem:
A very large New England apple juice factory was facing potential governmental
fines and possible shutdown if the factory was not able to reduce odor
emissions levels being generated by the factories wastewater pre-treatment
facility.
Solution:
Histosol OP-Bio was applied at an initial "shock" rate of 100
PPM into the 700,000 aeration tanks the first day of treatment. The Histosol
OP-Bio's impact on the odor was dramatic. Within three hours the odor
problem was contained. The second day application rate was reduced to
50 PPM. The third day application rate was reduced to 25 PPM. The application
rate was reduced to 5 PPM on the fourth day.
Conclusion:
Histosol OP-Bio provided an immediate solution to the odor problems at
the juice factory. The factory continues to apply the product on a daily
basis for maintenance at 5 PPM.
