A food flavoring manufacturer located in a remote area faced a new obstacle – urban development. As residential areas grew closer to the facility, residents began complaining about strong odors emanating from the plant's exhaust stacks. These complaints escalated, attracting the attention of regulatory agencies. The manufacturer needed a solution to control these odors and ensure continued operation without penalties or community issues.
Solution:
The company sought an economical and effective odor control solution. They partnered with Ozone Solutions to investigate the potential of ozone technology. A small-scale test conducted in the facility's lab successfully demonstrated ozone's ability to neutralize the unwanted odors.
Implementation:
Based on the successful test results, the manufacturer decided to install ozone gas generator systems for each of their exhaust stacks. After analyzing the odor load and exhaust flow, a capacity of 50 grams/hour per unit was determined to be sufficient for effective odor treatment within a three-second travel time through the ductwork.
Results:
The installation of ozone generators provided a significant improvement. The facility could resume normal operations without further complaints from the surrounding community or risk of regulatory penalties. They achieved effective odor control with an economical and environmentally friendly solution.
Benefits:
- Reduced Odors: Ozone technology effectively neutralized the unwanted odors from the food flavoring production process.
- Community Satisfaction: Eliminating the odor issue addressed resident concerns and maintained positive relationships with the surrounding community.
- Regulatory Compliance: By controlling odors, the facility avoided potential regulatory violations and fines.
- Continued Operations: With odor control in place, the manufacturer ensured continued production without interruption.
