TASK realised a complete odour treatment installation for a pig slaughterhouse in Belgium. Slaughterhouses can cause considerable odour nuisance for the environment, especially when processing animal products and waste streams. Effective odour treatment is therefore crucial, not only for the liveability of the surroundings, but also to comply with environmental legislation.
Our solution
TASK designed and installed a gas scrubber specifically tailored to the nature of the odour components, including ammonia and organic compounds. The installation consists of:
- A high-efficiency vertical scrubber
- Automatic dosing of chemicals
- Corrosion-resistant materials
- Monitoring of pH and pressure drop for optimal operation and easy maintenance
The result
Thanks to this installation, odour nuisance was drastically reduced and the slaughterhouse complies with current VLAREM emission standards. Moreover, the plant is easy to operate and requires little maintenance, which is crucial in a busy industrial environment.
