Hi P2techies,

Hank Nowick is a Massachusetts TUR planner who organized a vendor display at
the 11/14/96 meeting of the TUR Planners Association (TURPA).  I asked about
the nifty biofilter on display for odor and voc control.  he sent the
following two messages:

Janet:

One other odor related project you might be interested in follows:

The Springfield Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility completed a
significant project on odor reduction. The ended up eliminating a  huge odor
source in the Zimpro Sludge Wet Air Oxidizers, installing a Regenerative
Thermal Oxider and installing fine bubble diffusers in their secondary tanks.
There has been a tremendouys improvement in odor reduction as a result of
these changes. I was on the Mayor's Odor Reduction Task Force and can provide
more information on this project if you'd like.
