Odour & corrosion problems caused by H2S and mercaptans formation
In sewer lines and wastewater treatment plants the emission of hydrogen sulphide, besides of being toxic at certain concentrations, can also cause corrosion to concrete and metal structures like pumps, filter press and other metal structures present at a treatment plant. Additionally H2S emission can form a serious odour problem for the people working at or near the wastewater treatment plant or who are lH2S Corrosioniving in the area.
QM Environmental Services supplies several different products that can be applied for odour control. Systems used to control odours and H2S in wastewater treatment plants like biofilters, atomizing and mist systems but also collection systems like sewers, lift stations, buffer tanks and primary settlement tanks will benefit from the use of these products which will help to reduce hydrogen sulphide and mercaptans formation and thus reduce corrosion to concrete and metal structures. This will help bring down overall maintenance costs and prolong the life span of these systems.
Our products comprise MICROCAT® microbial and nutrient formulations, bioactivators and neutralizers.
| MICROCAT®-ANL | A liquid blend of preselected, adapted phototropic micro organisms for use under anoxic or anaerobic conditions. It is formulated for use in sewer lines and lift stations to suppress odour and enhance biodegradation where oxygen is of limited availability. |
| MICROCAT®-ECL | A liquid blend of natural enzymes and surfactants for use in cleaning and deodorizing. It is formulated for use in a wide range of applications from food processing to wastewater treatment to enhance cleaning and removal of fats, oils, greases, starches, proteins, etc. and to suppress the odours resulting from such compounds. |
| BIOSTYM | A natural product which when used results in an improved ecosystem of sludge digesters, preventing odours from occuring. Enhances biogas production. |
