Odour Control Unit

In numerous industrial operations, malodorous gaseous emissions are an inherent process byproduct, frequently containing corrosive constituents that adversely affect equipment longevity and ambient air quality. Beyond compromising operational efficiency and workforce comfort, these emissions can negatively influence surrounding communities and damage corporate reputation. Persistent odour release from industrial activities often results in public complaints, regulatory scrutiny, and potential penalties, including fines or enforced operational restrictions, when not effectively controlled.

TCPL is a leading specialist in offering engineered odour control systems and products that are safe, effective and helps our clients to solve complex industrial odour pollution. Our odour control applications are typically used for the removal of odour from sewage treatment plants, petrochemical industries, sludge, paper & pulp industries, food processing, solid waste processing plant, etc.

These units do not just cover up foul odours but, they get rid of them effectively by capturing and neutralizing odor molecules. The odour control units are also designed to remove VOC (volatile organic compounds) and to meet HAP (hazardous air pollutants) and other odor regulations. We also provide multistage chemical scrubbing system and environmentally friendly bio-filter or bio-scrubber system, apart from our standard adsorption-based filters.

Advanced Odour Control for Compliance & Community Harmony

Odour control technologies offering

Unlike conventional methods that merely mask unpleasant smells, TCPL’s odour control systems capture and neutralize odour molecules, effectively eliminating the source of odours. These systems are engineered to target specific odour-causing gases, ensuring that facilities and their surroundings remain odour-free. With removal efficiencies of up to 99.9%, our solutions can be tailored to target selected odour molecules, meeting client requirements with precision.

Our Key Odour Control Technologies Include:

  • Activated Carbon Adsorption Odour Control Systems
  • Biological Oxidation Odour Control Systems
  • Hybrid Systems Combining Biological and Activated Carbon Adsorption

TCPL’s advanced odour control technologies are selected based on application needs and client specifications, providing efficient, reliable, and sustainable solutions for long-term odour management.

                                 

Bio-Scrubber

The Bio-Scrubber operates on the principles of absorption and biological oxidation, where microorganisms break down odorous compounds into harmless byproducts. The Bio-Scrubber is filled with highly porous inorganic media, optimized to support microbial growth and maximize the contact time between polluted air and microorganisms. A nutrient-rich water solution is recirculated continuously and sprayed over the media, keeping the system moist and maintaining optimal pH levels for microbial activity.

This design allows the Bio-Scrubber to consistently achieve odour removal efficiencies of up to 99% when managed within the required contact time and operational parameters. The system is fully automated, featuring a PLC-based control system that continuously monitors and adjusts operating conditions using integrated sensors. This automation reduces the need for operator intervention and significantly lowers recurring costs compared to conventional chemical scrubbers.  Bio-Scrubber offers a sustainable, low-maintenance solution that enhances air quality in wastewater facilities.

Advanced odour control systems engineered to eliminate foul smells effectively across industries

The adsorption system used in standard odour control units are one of the sustainable and healthy ways to improve air quality. This process involves the use of an activated carbon media to remove gaseous pollutants and odours from an air flow. During the process, compounds in the pollutant air react with the carbon to stick to the surface area, effectively removing the contaminants from the air. This technology is also used in applications such as gas masks, radioactive iodine removal, water filters, nuclear submarines etc. Leveraging scientific research and innovation, we have developed different types of carbon media depending on the field of application. Our standard odour control unit’s capacity ranges from 50 m3/hr to 1,000 m3/hr.
