Grant Amount: $74,982
Grant Term: 16 Months
Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to research the feasibility of a new energy efficient process for eliminating odors at wastewater treatment facilities. The proposed process reduces the amount of energy used by blowers and compressors.
Proposed Outcomes:
· A pilot scale odor control plant will be installed at a Pacific Rim test site.
· Feasibility analysis based on the performance of the pilot plant.
· Procedures for safe operation of the new equipment in the waste water treatment plant environment
Anticipated Benefits:
· Reduce by 40% the amount of electrical energy used in odor control equipment.
· Improve odor removal efficiency over conventional equipment.
· Elimination of the large scrubber vessel saving the cost of the vessel, the cost of maintenance of the vessel and recovering the space that such large vessels occupy.
