We have identified the biggest problems that waste recyclers face in which we can provide a solution:
Odour: The smell from the waste itself is unpleasant if not disposed of or recycled correctly
Fumes: From the chemicals used to treat or clean elements on-site and the chemicals used in the process of turning waste into energy
Dust and particulates: Created during the process and pose health risks
Noise: Machinery use and waste depositing
Heat and humidity: Ignited through the use of steam generators
In recent years, government legislation and subsequent penalties have put increasing pressure on local authorities to recycle and reuse household waste.
This has resulted in a huge amount of investment in the recycling and waste sector. Consequently, there has been a surge in demand for the construction and improvement of recycling facilities and energy-from-waste (EFW) recovery plants.
The energy-from-waste plants use an anaerobic digestion process to take in huge amounts of waste each day. This comes from a variety of sources including general household waste, animal by-products and industrial waste. It’s then broken down to produce biogas and biofertiliser as an eco-friendly way to process waste.
Airmatic odour extraction services are essential in the construction and maintenance of waste-to-energy and waste recycling. We work with specialist odour consultants to offer a solution to odour problems on such sites.
A basic odour extraction solution can comprise of many methods and designs, but they all encompass some of these key elements:
Carbon Absorber which uses activated carbon to absorb odours
RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidisers) to burn the odour
Biofilter
Scrubber
