HD Q-PAC® Bio-media Eliminates Odors at Mt. Dora, Florida Water Reclamation Plant. System Very Responsive to H2S Surges
The water reclamation plant at Mt. Dora, Florida had an odor problem at the headworks collection well. Several pump stations in the community send their water to this location. The discharge of the various lines is random. At times one line may be discharging water while other lines are idle. At other times multiple lines are discharging. There are periods of no water discharge at various ...

Wet scrubbers air pollution control devices
Wet scrubbers are effective air pollution control devices used to remove particulates and/or harmful gases from industrial waste streams. Wet scrubbers operate by introducing a dirty gas stream into the scrubbing liquid (usually water + neutralizing liquid). Particles or gases are collected in the scrubbing liquid. Wet scrubbers are often the most suitable air pollution control equipment for ...
