Packed Bed System (PBS) - City of Spokane, Washington, USA - Case Study

THE PROBLEM:

It is very difficult to confirm odor levels when digging deep. While time and preparation go into design for a particular type of odor, more odors may present themselves during production. Furthermore, it is important to know the surrounding geography. For this project, the deep tunneling was near the La Brea Tar pits, which presented a serious concern because the H2S levels were expected to be very high. Once drilling began, they experienced other unpleasant odors that needed to be removed from the air.
