Description
Live Online version of this course.
This course provides a detailed review of the operational conditions that are responsible for biological odor production and the operational measures that available to control odor production. Operational conditions include:
1) forms of bacterial degradation that are responsible for odor production,
2) odorous compounds and precursors of odorous compounds present in wastewater,
3) forms of substrates and their impact upon the rate of odor production,
4) the odor-producing bacteria, sulfur-reducing bacteria and fermentative bacteria, and
5) operational parameters including temperature, pH, and flow. Changes in monitoring test values for detecting anaerobic conditions in the sewer system or treatment plant and evaluating the success or failure of odor control measures are offered. The monitoring tests include: alkalinity, ammonia, chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen, hydrogen sulfide in the sewer system atmosphere, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH, sulfate, sulfide, and temperature. Operational measures for odor control include biological, chemical, and physical. Biological measures presented are bioaugmentation, biofilter, maintaining an anoxic condition, and maintaining anoxic condition. Chemical measures presented are disinfection, oxidation, pH adjustment, precipitation of sulfide, and scrubbing (scrubbers), and physical measures presented are adsorption, cleaning, covers, and reduction in turbulence.
