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.
