Mystery Odor

A Lake Dallas, Texas town is being plagued by odors coming from a water treatment plant just outside the city limits. The odor is being carried by the wind, and swept as far as all the way into the center of town. Locals have complained about the odor which the mayor says can be smelled on a daily basis. Officials are unsure if the smell is from chemicals used in the treatment process, or if it is from organic matter being treated. However, the mayor states “I think it’s just going to be boiled down to using the right technology and probably the economics,” Marino said. “How much is it going to cost you to improve the technology and eliminate the smell?” Locals are anxious to get to the bottom of the situation, since the odor seems to be getting worse.

Analytical Technology Inc's Model A23-14 Ozone Generator could be used in this situation as a way to help in the odor control from the water treatment pland. The Model A23-14 Ozone Generator is a portable generator designed to produce an ozone gas concentration below 1 PPM, which can be used for detector calibration at almost any location. The use of ozone gas is increasing rapidly in a wide variety of applications, such as water treatment, odor control, and food processing.
