Hydroflux Neutralox odour control systems

Hydroflux’s Neutralox photoionisation odour control systems addresses the poor or unmanageable odour control wastewater treatment and sludge handling facilities.

Traditional odour control systems have been around for a long time, but unfortunately, they also have a lot of downsides: carbon absorption systems require expensive media replacement and disposal; liquid scrubbers use large volumes of expensive chemicals and produce yet more effluent; and biofiltration systems take months to start working, take up a large area of land and again produce more effluent to treat.

Internationally, especially in Europe, these technologies are rapidly being phased out and this process is now available in Australia and New Zealand. This low-energy and sustainable odour control process is designed to replace the older unsustainable and expensive technologies.

Photoionisation systems are incredibly compact, operate without chemicals, do not produce effluent and do not work by absorption. They also work the moment they are turned on and can be turned on and off as needed.

Essentially based on the application of high-intensity UV-light and using specialised catalysts, in addition to highly effective odour reduction, the process also provides extensive air disinfection.

However, of most appeal is the low power demand. With a compact size and no air restrictions, the system can use smaller fans than are required with bio filters, carbon adsorption filters and scrubbers.
