This study evaluates liquid odor control products for waste management, finding bench-scale tests can assess hydrogen sulfide abatement. A pilot-scale spray tower was developed to create a repeatable testing method for these essential odor control solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Waste Management

Background:

  • Standard end-of-pipe odor control methods are often costly and impractical for waste facilities.
  • Liquid odor control products offer an economical alternative, but lack standardized testing protocols.
  • Existing data on odor control product efficacy is scarce, unreliable, and often irrelevant to diverse waste streams and operational conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify commercially available liquid odor control products suitable for solid and liquid waste management.
  • To investigate the odorous gas abatement performance of selected products using bench-scale batch absorption tests.
  • To develop a repeatable testing methodology for evaluating odor control product effectiveness in waste management applications.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Commercial liquid odor control products were identified for waste management applications.
  • Bench-scale batch absorption tests were conducted using hydrogen sulfide as the target odorous gas.
  • Gas-phase volumetric mass-transfer coefficients (KGa) were calculated to quantify abatement performance across various pH levels.

Main Results:

  • The study quantified the mass-transfer performance of selected odor control products and water.
  • Hydrogen sulfide abatement was assessed, providing initial data on product efficacy.
  • A pilot-scale spray tower apparatus was designed and presented for future repeatable testing.

Conclusions:

  • Bench-scale tests provide valuable data for assessing odor control product performance, particularly for hydrogen sulfide.
  • The developed pilot-scale spray tower aims to standardize testing and address challenges of open-site product application.
  • Calculated KGa values will serve as crucial design parameters for optimizing the pilot-scale testing rig.
