Tecpro solution solves offensive situation

While Goulburn Mulwaree Council was constructing a new, state-of-the-art water treatment plant, four temporary settling ponds were required. One of these ponds contained materials that were in the early stages of processing. As a result, the pond was producing an invasive odour that was disturbing nearby residents.

Tecpro Australia was contacted for urgent advice and assistance. The Tecpro team suggested the V12s Dust Controller and made some slight modifications to suit the application. Tecpro also suggested a dosing unit to add odour-neutralising chemicals to the dust controller’s fine water mist.

One of the reasons for recommending the V12s Dust Controller is its quiet operation. Operating at 60 dBA at a radius of 20 metres, the equipment’s sound emission level is equivalent to a normal conversation. As a result, the council was able to offer a highly effective odour-suppression solution without creating a noise problem — a real challenge in the quiet rural area.

With Tecpro’s solution, the council was quickly able to control all odours from the temporary treatment plant without disturbing the tranquillity of the neighbouring properties.

The V12s are set at an operational speed to control spray and water volume to reduce water consumption and keep odour-neutralising chemicals to a minimum, allowing Goulburn Mulwaree Council to operate the odour-neutralising process efficiently and effectively.

V12s Dust Controllers suppress dust on urban demolition and construction sites where dust and noise emissions need to be strictly managed. They are equally suitable for large, industrial sites to prevent the release of foul smells including biogas — often found around treatment or recycling plants and composting sites. In fact, they are so effective, a special V12So odour suppression version was recently launched to satisfy the demand for large-scale odour control and disinfection.
