City of Detroit Utilizes Midas® OCM to Remove H2S Odors at Collapsed Sewer

The Detroit Water and Sewer Department experienced a sewer collapse, resulting in the need to bypass, creating up to 120 ppm of H2S gas and odors at the drop shaft one half mile away. Westates Carbon Rolloff containers were installed onsite eliminating the sewer odors four days after receipt of the signed contract.

Los Angeles Looks to Next Generation of Odor Control Equipment

LO/PRO® Odor Control System implemented to remove H2S and reduce operating costs at wastewater treatment plant in Los Angeles, CA. System includes three-stage scrubber to treat odors from the primary effluent.

Midas® OCM Eliminates Odors Associated with West Coast Sewer Collection System

In 2004, a major west coast city began construction of two new interceptor sewers. The 12 foot diameter intercept lines relieve hydraulic overloading, but also created a number of turbulent areas where nuisance odors adversely affected the local residential community. These odors were primarily H2S at concentration levels of up to 150 ppm, as well as volatile organic contaminants (VOCs).

Midas® OCM Field Testing Confirms Increased Capacity for H2S Adsorption and Odor Removal

The unique and patented manufacturing process for Midas OCM converts H2S directly to elemental sulfur rather than sulfuric acid, which is the typical reaction of H2S on carbon. Since the sulfur molecule is smaller than the sulfuric molecule, the carbon is able to adsorb a greater number of sulfur molecules. By comparison, Midas OCM will last between 3 to 8 times linger than conventional medias used for this purpose. To verify the performance, a 5-month test was conducted under actual field conditions.

Multiple Treatment Approach Reduces Odors and Operating Costs in a Collection System

This municipality treats 40-60 million gallons per day of wastewater through its collection system. The city was feeding sodium chlorite into the pump station wet wells to control hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and associated odors. These wet wells operated intermittently, pumping 10-20% of the time into the force main, leaving it untreated most of the time. This single chemical approach did not adequately control odors associated with H2S generated by bacteria in all sections of the collection system. Consequently, supplemental treatments were required at multiple remote sites.
