Odour Control Systems Odour Management Solutions

Odour Control Systems (OCS) has been operating in Australia for more than 20 years and is an industry leader in odour management and atmospheric enhancement solutions in the wastewater, industrial and commercial sectors.

OCS provides competitively priced products and services that demonstrate sound environmental management practices.

Biofiltration systems

Biofiltration is a highly efficient and cost-effective air pollution control technology. Biofiltration systems can treat several contaminants simultaneously, without the use of chemicals. With 95% odour removal efficiency, our biofiltration systems can treat a wide range of contaminants. They are easy to use and low maintenance.

Our biofiltration systems range includes FiltaOdor systems and soil bed biofilters. Biofiltration systems can be custom built to suit the customer’s needs.

Odour biofiltration systems

Sustained and efficient biological odour control can be achieved with our compact FiltaOdor biofiltration systems. By controlling even air distribution, filter bed moisture, air humidity and thermal control, FiltaOdor systems optimise the biodegradation process.

FiltaOdor biofiltration systems are a compact unit, which can be used in areas where space is at a minimum and are ideally suited to urban and industrial applications. The Filtaodor media is revolutionising the biofilter market, with high surface area, high moisture retention properties and low compaction and breakdown rates the Filtaodour media offers a media life of between five and 15 years.

Soil bed biofilters

Soil bed biofilters rely on naturally occurring microorganisms to metabolise air pollutants to harmless by-products. Contaminated air is distributed and passed through a bed packed with moist organic media. Contaminants are absorbed into the water layer surrounding the media surface, where they are biologically destroyed by active bacteria.

Our biofilters are environmentally friendly and reduce OHS risks, whilst still being cost-effective. Each OCS soil bed biofilter is designed and manufactured according to the specific needs of the clients.

Types of odours treatable with soil bed filters:

• Volatile organic compounds
• H2S
• Mercaptans
• Other reduced sulphur compounds

Activated carbon filters

A large variety of odour issues can be dealt with by OCS’s activated carbon filters, which range from simple 200l drum carbon canisters to larger and more complex custom-built units.

An activated carbon unit consists of four main components:

1. Prefilter – removes excess fats and condensate
2. Fan / blower – provides required air extraction
3. Activated carbon media – adsorbs contaminants
4. Vent stack – expels treated air at a height

Odour Control Systems designs, supplies and installs activated carbon filters, which can also be installed with a variety of monitoring and control equipment to ensure that the required system performance is achieved.

Odour neutralising spray systems

Perimeter sprays around a lagoon or landfill site, inlet works odour control, solid waste facility odour control and waste processing odour control are just some of the wide range of applications that OCS’s odour neutralising systems are suited to.

Our odour neutralising spray systems are:

• Durable
• Dependable
• Ideal for large or small applications
• Fully automated
• Customisable to suit your needs

OCS offers hydraulic or pneumatic spraying systems depending on your requirements and the application it is to be used for.

BioStreme products

OCS’s BioStreme products decrease odour by enhancing the growth and reproduction of facultative bacteria. Facultative bacteria can function in both aerobic and anaerobic environments and are major contributors to the stabilisation of waste and wastewater through synthesising organic material without producing odours.

BioStreme’s formula consists of micronutrients, amino acids and hybrid organic extracts considered to be the building blocks for growth and synthesis of new cell material.

Biostreme products can be used in:

• Composting
• Grease traps and wet wells
• Landfills
• Leachate lagoons and containment sites
• Solid waste
• Surface odour control

The use of BioStreme products can provide increased treatment efficiency and operational cost savings for your facility.
