More Odor Control For Lift Stations

Fairhope, Alabama thefairhopetimes.blogspot.com 

 

New Twin Beech lift station.
Hwy 181 'Publix' station.


A new type of odor control is being installed at some of the city's lift stations to supplement the familiar green-box ones all around town; cost is $34K each.

Morrow Water Technologies, Inc. is the supplier of the 'Indusco' new ones, described below:

"Carbon Scrubber Adsorber units are offered in many custom designs to allow for the very best and highest efficiency systems.  The carbon adsorbers in Spanish Fort, AL, are fabricated using the best materials of construction for the service intended, this includes: aluminum, stainless steel, fiberglass, and thermal plastics.  This type of media is specifically selected for the application, depending on the contaminant to be removed. This includes: coconut husk, bituminous coal, and specially compounded media. INDUSCO has successfully implemented several carbon adsorbers to effectively treat H2S for many wetwell and storage tank headspace odors. It is also common to use adsorbers to perform a “finish polishing” operation for post-bio-trickling scrubber applications."

Glad I read this story and Indusco was the vendor for this project. Would have been crazy not to see a local company get this business.

Consistent bad smell near the main water treatment center that extends from North Bayview St on Bluff to North Mobile Street. They need to do better.

Absolutely agree. Not only the odor, but the noise. There is often a shrill, ear piercing sound at this station. I understood originally the plans placed the majority of the structure underground.
