Purafil ESD provides odor control for Besos Wastewater Treatment Plant in Barcelona
July 15, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Purafil ESD recently provided the Besos WWTP in Barcelona with nearly 100 Purafil Drum-Scrubber odor control systems, containing Purafil Odoroxidant™ and Odormix™ media, for a massive renovation project. The Besos WWTP, which is located near Barcelona beaches and serves six towns and more than 2 million people, needed an improved treatment system and new public spaces for a growing city. This led to the unique idea of building a larger, improved treatment plant completely underground. The new treatment plant will be integrated into the urban design of a recently recovered area of Barcelona. The 900,000 ft2, completely covered facility will now sit beneath four luxury hotels, a convention center and a public square containing an amusement park. The location of these commercial facilities made the need for major odor control a crucial detail in the design of the facility.
Purafil ESD was chosen for the Besos WWTP because of their localized control of odors, customized media for control of specific odors at each location and their ability to demonstrate 100% odor removal. Purafil’s Drum-Scrubber systems with Odoroxidant™ and Odormix™ media also offer the benefits of reliability, high efficiency and simple operation.
For more than 15 years, Purafil ESD has been the premier single-source provider of clean air to over 100 North American and European clients. A division of Purafil, Inc., Purafil ESD manufactures a broad range of dry-scrubbing chemical systems that remove odorous, toxic, and corrosive gases at water and wastewater applications.
