2021.10.27 DEODORIZER
Operating costs of deodorization equipment were reduced by more than ¥10,000,000 (Introduced to: A sludge composting facility)
| Introduced to | A sewage sludge composting facility |
| Problem 1 | Deodorization was done with wood chips, but the electricity bill for the deodorization fans was too high (more than ¥20,000,000), and it took time and effort to replace wood chips. |
| Problem 2 | Necessary to remove foul odors that could not be removed with wood chip deodorization. |
Drastically cut operating costs
At this facility, wood chips were used to do deodorization before,but the electricity bill for deodorization fans was too high (more than ¥20,000,000/year), and it cost millions of yen per year to replace wood chips.
Therefore, the decision was made to switch to a deodorization method using porous glass, in order to drastically reduce operating costs.
After switching to the porous glass deodorization method, they succeeded in reducing their annual costs by approximately ¥18,000,000.
■ Electricity Bill: Reduced by ¥10,000,000
■ Chip Replacement Cost: Reduced by ¥8,000,000
Removes foul odors which could not be fully removed before
With this equipment, 1.5 times more exhaust gas can be treated than with conventional equipment, and the removal rate improved from 37% before introduction to 96% after introduction. Removal capacity rose to more than 4 times higher than before introduction.
