Odour emanation is a natural process. Different times of day and weather conditions strongly affect the odour concentration. And no doubt, it is rising exponentially. Sewage plants, wastewater facilities, landfills battling against odour problems.

It is not only about business reputation and goodwill, but a poisonous threat to workers and communities living around the plants. The whiff of odorous compounds can take health, environmental rights, even the agreeable indoor-friendly atmosphere away.

Odours produced during the treatment process results from the anaerobic decomposition of organic compounds which release gases like Hydrogen sulphide, Ammonia, VOCs. If not treated, upsurging gases to the atmosphere causes potential odour problems and life problems.
