There are really only two ways to control odors during any type of manufacturing or production process. One is to cover up the odor or mask it, which is often the most commonly used option. The other is to have the ability to use odor control systems using mist to actually trap the cause of the odor and remove it from the environment.
Masking odors is not effective in the long run. These are scented sprays or chemicals that are pumped into the air to cover the problematic odor. The result is often the creation of another issue, which is too heavy of a chemical or specific scent in the air. Breathing these heavy scents all day in a work environment is not only unpleasant, but for some it can result in headaches, allergic reactions and other types of health issues and respiratory problems.
The other option, which includes the use of high-pressure odor control systems using neutralizing chemicals in mist, is the best choice. These systems are highly effective in removing even the most problematic odors such as those found in food process industries, packing and slaughter plants as well as in solid waste treatment facilities.
How it Works
Misting odor control systems allow the neutralizing chemicals to mix with the water and be dispersed, in very small droplets only microns in size, into the air. This is very different than a blast of pure chemical or a masking scent.
With the continual distribution of the mist through the odor control systems, the chemicals released from the decomposition or processing are neutralized before they become a problem or an issue.
High pressure misting types of odor control systems also provide the advantage of humidifying the area, which can assist in keeping dust from becoming a problem in the environment as well. However, these systems are not primarily for humidifying or dust control. It is an additional advantage to consider over simply using fans or traditional air injection systems for odor control.
Choosing high pressure misting odor control systems is an economical choice in small and large buildings. They can be used both indoors and out, which can be an important factor for some processing businesses. The design of these systems can be completely customized and configured to your unique needs, giving you the ability to have the coverage you need where you need it.
