Effective Odour Control in Wastewater Treatment: Aqoza’s Sustainable Approach
Wastewater treatment is essential for public health and environmental sustainability—
but it comes with one persistent challenge: odour control. Unpleasant smells from
treatment plants can affect not only worker health and morale but also the quality of
life for nearby communities. At Aqoza, we recognize that managing odours is not just a
matter of compliance—it's a responsibility.

Understanding the Source of Odours
Odours in Wastewater Treatment are primarily caused by the breakdown of organic
matter under anaerobic conditions. This results in the release of compounds like
hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), all of which
have strong, often offensive smells. Without an effective odour control system, these
emissions can lead to complaints, regulatory issues, and even potential health hazards.
Why Odour Control Matters
Beyond the nuisance factor, odour emissions can have real-world impacts:
 Community Relations: Persistent odours can lead to public complaints, protests,
and even legal action.
 Worker Safety: Gases like hydrogen sulfide are toxic at high concentrations and
can pose serious health risks.
 Regulatory Compliance: Environmental agencies are tightening odour emission
standards, making effective control systems not just optional—but essential.
Aqoza’s Expertise in Odour Control in Wastewater Treatment
At Aqoza, we specialize in designing, installing, and maintaining advanced odour control
systems tailored to each stage of wastewater treatment. Our solutions are built around
three key pillars: efficiency, sustainability, and reliability.
1. Advanced Scrubbing Systems
We offer chemical scrubbers and biological scrubbers that remove odorous gases from
the air stream before they can escape into the environment. Our scrubbers are
engineered to maximize contact between air and treatment media, ensuring high
removal efficiency.
2. Biofiltration Technology
For plants prioritizing eco-friendly solutions, biofilters offer a natural way to neutralize
odours using microbial action. Aqoza’s biofiltration systems are designed for low
maintenance and long service life, making them ideal for facilities seeking green
alternatives.
3. Customised Containment Solutions
Odour control starts at the source. We provide covering systems for tanks, lagoons, and
clarifiers to prevent the escape of foul gases. Combined with ventilation and air capture
systems, we ensure emissions are handled safely and effectively.
