Industrial Dust and Odor Control

Dust suppression is a current challenge in recycling operations. Raised awareness and tighter regulatory standards contribute to the recycling industry finding more efficient and cost-effective methods of fugitive particle control. A good dust management plan tackles the problem at its source. Most shredders and crushers have dust suppression technology built into them. Still, it’s limited to those machines, leaving recycling facility managers to determine the best means for suppressing dust generated once material hits the open air.

Although ordinary at facilities treating organic material, the issue of odor control is significant across all sectors of the waste industry. Concerns over foul odor emissions are one of the big stumbling blocks in the planning and permitting stages of many waste facilities. In contrast, poorly executed odor control regimes can cause friction with the local community.

Odor control systems need to be considered central to the operation of plants and be well maintained.
