Anua AiraSymBIO
AiraSymBIO from Anua is an on-site, closed-loop odor treatment system that harvests raw wastewater, filters and then treats it for use as the irrigation water in the multistage biological odor treatment system. The system utilizes a water resource already present, thus reducing operating costs, uses no freshwater, and allows the biological odor control system to function as intended, as many areas around the country do not have potable water available at the lift or pump station site or have water conservation initiatives in place, which prohibits the use of biological treatment technologies. 346-225-8033; www.anuainternational.com
Evoqua Water Technologies BTF-Bioscrubber
The BTF-Bioscrubber biological odor control system from Evoqua Water Technologies is an advanced, nonhazardous biological air treatment system that integrates equipment, media and the NUCIRC process for optimal performance and flexibility. Utilizing a dual-stage bio-trickling filter system, which can be operated in both single- or dual-stage modes, applications have achieved 99.9% hydrogen sulfide removal and up to 97.5% of total odor removal during performance testing. The process skid allows operation in recirculation or once through modes, delivering accelerated acclimation without separate startup equipment. Systems are available in both single- and dual-stage options with single-stage recirculated systems suited for treating raw biosolids odors found in pump stations, headworks and primary sedimentation, while dual-stage systems are better suited to handle entire plant odors. 800-466-7873; www.evoqua.com
Industrial Odor Control Hi-Flow Radial Filter
Industrial Odor Control’s Hi-Flow Radial Filter is an activated carbon radial molecular air scrubber that captures VOCs and particulate matter in a broad range of environments. It has a small footprint but can handle a large volume of air. It can be ducted into existing HVAC systems or be stand-alone with a power blower. It comes in three sizes, the HRF-1.5 holds 1.5 cubic feet of activated carbon, the HRF-5 holds 5 cubic feet, and the HRF-7 holds 7 cubic feet. The units come with Norit Darco’s H2S activated carbon. It is specifically developed for removing hydrogen sulfide from air streams and eliminating sewage odors. It is produced by steam activation of a raw material to provide increased pore volume for adsorption of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan odors. These filters are offered with an optional power blower that has a standard voltage in one-phase, but units are also available in three-phase. 866-667-8465; www.industrialodorcontrol.com

Veolia Water Technologies Hydrex
The Hydrex odor control process from Veolia Water Technologies is a redox chemical reaction that combines the Hydrex catalyst with hydrogen peroxide to produce hydroxyl free radicals that quickly and efficiently oxidize sulfide and other malodorous compounds. The process is pH neutral and the only byproduct is dissolved oxygen. The process can be used in headworks, lift stations in the collection system and biosolids dewatering. The catalyst can also be used in the vapor phase in chemical scrubbers, replacing the current use of caustic and bleach for hydrogen sulfide reduction with minimal media fouling and pH adjustment required. The process provides a rapid reaction, using a biodegradable, nonhazardous, cost-effective solution. A capital equipment option customized for the catalyst and designed to treat up to 100 ppm hydrogen sulfide is also available where a new scrubber is required. 919-677-8310; www.veoliawatertech.com

Force Flow Chlor-Scale Ton Container Scale and Chlor-Scale 150
The Chlor-Scale Ton Container Scale from Force Flow provides an accurate way to monitor the amount of chlorine used in a disinfection process, allowing the operator to document that target disinfection levels have been consistently met and know how much chlorine remains in the tank. The steel, rectangular tube platform is robotically welded and then epoxy powder-coated to ensure maximum strength for safety and durability. The Chlor-Scale 150 provides a simple and reliable way to monitor the amount of chlorine or ammonia used and the amount remaining in the cylinder. The solid PVC scale platform provides a strong defense against the corrosive environments associated with gas-feed applications. 800-893-6723; www.forceflow.com
Scienco/FAST - a division of BioMicrobics SciCHLOR
SciCHLOR from Scienco/FAST - a division of BioMicrobics is a sodium hypochlorite generator designed to give a large span of markets a safe and effective way to disinfect. With salt, water and electricity, the system with multipass SciCELL electrochemical activation, or ECA, technology will produce an available supply of 10 to 60 pounds chlorine-equivalent/day sizes. Connected to an incoming water source and with multiple operating modes, the brine solution makes multiple passes through the low-voltage DC electrolytic cell to provide a reliable method for the needs of medium to large on-site disinfection applications. Its recirculation method keeps control of desired chlorine concentration while the assembly minimizes maintenance downtime. 866-652-4539; www.sciencofast.com
