Odor Suppression

One major concern with operating a composting facility is being able to control the odors generated from the waste material. With facilities coming under scrutiny from the neighboring communities and concerns of complying with permitting regulation, effective methods of controlling odors must be incorporated into planning and daily operation of the facilities. While well maintained composting processes which include routine turning of the material make great steps toward controlling odors, SCARAB realizes that other means may sometimes be required. This is the reason SCARAB offers odor suppression systems and SCARAB STINK STOPPER (SSS).

SCARAB STINK STOPPER (SSS) is an all natural broad spectrum odor neutralizing oil that biologically and chemically engineered to eliminate tough problem odors when atomized in air. Rather than being a perfume or masking agent, SSS is an intricate blend of naturally occurring essential oils which attach to and physically break down the odor particles.

The SCARAB High Pressure Fog System generally comprises a reservoir tank, filters, a hydraulically driven high pressure water pump and hydraulic manifold hose into which patented highly specialized low flow nozzles are installed on specific centers to form an atomization line / spray bar along the front and rear of the SCARAB.

A diluted solution of SCARAB STINK STOPPER is pumped out of the reservoir tank and out through the atomization nozzles to produce a fog of sub 10 micron odor neutralizing droplets. The odor neutralizing fog spreads out and covers the windrow and entrains with hot odorous gas escaping from the compost during the turning process. The front spray bar mixes the SSS with the fresh oxygen entering the front of the machine while the rear bar attacks the odor after the material is turned and displaced to the rear of the machine.

Basic Spray System*

For other operations that require the application of chemicals or other additives to assist in the processing of the material, SCARAB offers a basic spray system. The incremental introduction of the additives can be applied during the turning process rather than having to be added manually at another time. This not only helps reduce the amount of time required, but also provide the immediate mixing of the additives with the material rather than applying it onto the top of the windrow. One application for this type of system that we have encountered is a couple of customers performing soil remediation. One in particular situation, the customer was having to spray the windrows manually which was laborious and time consuming. With the system, it can be done mechanically during a routine turning.
