Abstract
An odor treating system in which a silo-type structure (2) incorporates in layered sequence along its height at least one bioscrubber (4) and one wet scrubber (6) or biofilter and incorporates a port (10) for introducing malodorous effluent into the structure (2) below the scrubbers (4, 6) and fan means (1) overlying the scrubbers (4, 6) for drawing the effluent through the scrubbers (4, 6) to deodorize, dilute and disperse the effluent into the atmosphere.
Claims4
Means for deodorizing composting gaseous effluents comprising:
- a vertically oriented cylindrical structure having disposed along its height a packed-bed, wet bioscrubber;
- an oxidation chamber containing liquid media disposed beneath said bioscrubber;
- means for recirculating the liquid media over said bioscrubber;
- a sludge settling tank located beneath the oxidation chamber;
- means for removing sludge from the settling tank;
- means for admitting gaseous effluent to be deodorized into said cylindrical structure for passage therethrough;
- and fan means for drawing the effluent through said bioscrubber and for diluting and dispersing the deodorized effluent into the atmosphere.
