Odor & Airborne Microbiological Control Technologies

Odor Control Overview

Many agricultural, municipal, and manufacturing applications require odor control in order to comply with government regulated air permits. One time-proven technology for odor control is chlorine dioxide. Most commonly chlorine dioxide has been applied for odor control by misting a water treated fluid with a high concentration of chlorine dioxide solution. While moderately effective, this is a water intensive and wasteful solution. Additionally, this application process is not the most efficient use of the chlorine dioxide molecule. Gas phase chlorine dioxide is more chemically efficient at reacting with organic odors than when applied in a liquid mist phase. Substantially less chlorine dioxide is required when effectively distributed for odor control as a gas versus when applied as a liquid mist. The ApHinity Engineering team has extensive experience at applying gas phase application of chlorine dioxide with the intent of controlling odors. The chlorine dioxide is produced in a single-precursor electrolytic generator where it is extracted under vacuum and pumped throughout a customer installed piping distribution system for proper application. The result is an effective odor control system utilizing far less chlorine dioxide and no water wasted. If you facility has a desire for odor control technology, please contact ApHinity to discuss a possible odor control solution for your facility.

Airborne Microbiological Control Overview

Food, Beverage, Healthcare, and Agricultural companies have become increasingly focused on controlling airborne based microbiological contamination as it relates to safety of employees and the products they market. To mitigate risk related to airborne microbiological contaminants, ApHinity engineers design gas phase chemical treatment technologies to control the respective pathogens of concern while implementing an ongoing management program infrastructure to properly document critical control points, verification parameters, and validation results. Typical gas phase technologies that can be applied are ozone, electrolytically produced gas phase chlorine dioxide, and electrolytically produced “on-demand” chlorine gas. If you have a specific pathogen or application of concern, please contact ApHinity to discuss possible solutions for your application.
