Peracetic acid controls odor emissions at rendering plants by serving as a powerful liquid oxidizer, removing scale in packed beds and allowing process scrubbers more surface area to control emissions.
Typical odor abatement chemicals are bleach, chlorine dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide. Unlike bleach, Hydrite peracetic acid is not deactivated by organics in the scrubber water.
Using peracetic acid to assist in odor control has several other key benefits:
Compared to chlorine dioxide generation, peracetic acid reduces chemicals and the maintenance surrounding a multi-chemical system. Employees are not exposed to chlorine dioxide fumes..
Peracetic acid reduces odor at the scrubber system, the plant facility and the surrounding community.
Peracetic acid eliminates the need for multiple chemicals used in chlorine dioxide generation. Instead, one chemical has multiple functions:
This minimizes equipment (generator) maintenance.
Most chlorine dioxide generators use venturi systems that can be used to feed peracetic acid. Overall, there is no need for a new pump. Plus, operators can monitor the flow of one chemical versus multiple chemicals.
