CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017: Showcasing Solutions for the Ever-Changing Odor Tides of Hot Mix Asphalt and Bitumen
Despite new innovations in the asphalt and aggregates arenas, odor management remains an ongoing challenge. The production of hot mix paving asphalt will always generate odors that can be strong, persistent, and a nuisance to employees and neighbors alike.
In addition, during the oil refining process, the crude petroleum oil composition continuously changes. This is due to the oil coming from different locations, which can create a changing tide of foul odors. During the refining process, the distillation of the crude oil leaves behind bitumen or liquid asphalt, which also contains highly pungent odors that are very difficult to fully mitigate.
A long-time leader in industrial odor control, OMI Industries has developed a family of solutions that can be mixed directly into petroleum products used in the asphalt industry to control odorous emissions – even when the composition of the crude oil is changing.
By adding a small amount of Ecosorb additive — around 100 to 500 parts per million — to the liquid storage and handling process, the foul emissions are significantly reduced, or can even be eliminated.
Ecosorb® solutions have been effective in controlling these odor emissions in refineries, terminals, hot mix plants, transportation systems, and paving operations around the U.S. and internationally.
From March 7th to 11th, OMI Industries will be showcasing its eco-friendly odor management solutions at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017, hosted in Las Vegas in booth #S64607.
Please contact us here to schedule an appointment with Dr. Laura Haupert, Director of Research and Development at OMI Industries, or Brian McLaughlin, Director of Sales & Marketing, who can provide further insights into how you best manage the rising tide of foul odors that come from asphalt refining and production.

‘Inadequate Infrastructure’ Leading to Increased Sewage Overspills
Sewage overspills have been hitting the headlines with increasing frequency over the last few years, with raw waste discharged into rivers, lakes and streams across the UK and Ireland on a daily basis. This is permissible during periods of heavy rainfall, when the capacity of the combined sewage system (which was built by the Victorians) can be exceeded. This means that sewage works can potentially be inundated with wastewater and back up into homes, roads and open spaces… so to prevent this, water...

Biovision® - Biofouling monitoring system for real-time insight into biofouling settlement risk
The unwanted accumulation of biofouling in industrial water systems can have significant impacts in the plants, sometimes leading to operational shutdown and the costs of remediation actions and lost production can increase significantly O&M costs. The Biovision monitor is a tool that provides an early warning for potential biofouling risks, allowing operators to monitor in real-time the effectiveness of the treatment of choice applied. It detects new invasive species, and it is an early warning system with...

ACCIONA develops a solution to prevent fouling in reverse osmosis membranes
ACCIONA , as part of its commitment with innovation, has launched the WITNESS project, which objective is to develop a biological indicator to preventively determine the presence of agents causing fouling in seawater reverse osmosis desalination processes. Fouling in reverse osmosis membranes is one of the main limitations to further optimise seawater reverse osmosis desalination processes, as well as one of the great challenges for the sector. The fouling of membranes leads to higher operation pressure and...
