Case Study Summary: Municipal Wastewater Treatment - Sludge Odor
Control, Michigan WWTP
Challenge:
A large wastewater treatment plant in Detroit was facing severe odor issues due to high levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and mercaptans in the sludge. This created unsafe working conditions, increased odor complaints from nearby residents, and caused additional odor problems at the landfill where the sludge was being disposed.
Solution:
The WWTP requested SciCorp to conduct a controlled study, performed by ORTECH Consulting Inc., to evaluate the effectiveness of BIOLOGIC™ SEPTIC in reducing sludge odors.
Results:
• 82% Odor Reduction: BIOLOGIC™ SEPTIC removed 82% of sludge odors in the
blended sludge.
• Mercaptan Reduction: All mercaptans were reduced to the detection limit of the
measurement instruments.
• Outperformed Competing Products: BIOLOGIC™ SEPTIC outperformed all other odor control products tested in the study.
How This Benefits Your Septic System:
For home septic systems, BIOLOGIC™ SEPTIC provides superior odor control, ensuring your system remains free from foul odors. Its ability to reduce H2S and other odor-causing compounds means fewer complaints and a more pleasant environment around your property.
