  • Synergistic Wastewater Odor Control Composition, Systems, and Related Methods Therefor
    Publication number: 20170015571
    Abstract: Some aspects of the invention can involve compositions, systems, and related techniques that control or reduce objectionable odor characteristics of a body or a stream of wastewater. The compositions, systems, and related techniques can comprise one or more compounds that adjust metabolic activity of at least a portion of microorganisms in wastewater to inhibit or disfavor the formation of at least one objectionable odorous compound or species and one or more compounds that modify, shift, or promote one or more states or characteristics of one or more objectionable odorous species in wastewater. The metabolic modifying compound can be an anthraquinone and the state modifying compound can be an alkaline or pH-elevating compound.
