| The Albany-Millersburg Water Reclamation Facility in OR installed an Orion 420™ Weather Station to monitor on-site conditions. |
“It is important to note that geography and weather conditions are significant factors in how odor emanates at wastewater facilities. Temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation are elements to consider when determining the appropriate odor control delivery method,” says Dr. Laura Haupert in the article “Important Considerations for Odor Control in Wastewater” in the July issue of Water & Wastes Digest.
“For example, presume a facility is located in a hot and humid area (such as Florida). Odor issues will likely be significantly greater than a wastewater treatment facility in Washington state. Hot and humid weather creates the optimal environment for a facility to produce hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and mercaptans odors. To make matters worse, volatile organic compounds in your facility start coming off, creating even more odor.”
