The main cause of odors is hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
The main cause of odors in wastewater disposal and treatment systems is hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This is a colorless gas that is felt at very low concentrations (the smell of rotten eggs), and its detrimental effect on the body can cause serious consequences.
It is well known that bacterial oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in sewer systems causes corrosion of concrete. In 1984, the US Environmental Protection Agency estimated that $ 3.2 billion was needed to reconstruct sewer networks in the United States, and most of the damage was caused by hydrogen sulfide.
Studies show that the rate of hydrogen sulfide corrosion of concrete at 25 degrees and a concentration of hydrogen sulfide of 2 ppm in air reaches its maximum value of 16 mm / year. Corrosion can be prevented by removal of hydrogen sulfide, with the controlled dosing of special reagents removing hydrogen sulfide.
Reagents of the Fer-AQUATTM brand are specially designed for the removal of hydrogen sulfide in sewer networks, at pumping stations and treatment facilities. Also, the technologists of the ALC “POLOGY CHEMICAL PLANT “COAGULANT” developed reagents that prevent the formation of hydrogen sulfide by inhibiting the activity of sulfate reducing bacteria.
