Byers Scientific’s introduction of a mobile vapor-phase odor mitigation system is helping solid waste operators in the war on odor
As commercial and residential communities sprawl closer to landfills and landfills expand their footprint due to a seemingly never-ending waste stream, tensions inevitably mount. One of the biggest pain points for both solid waste operators and their often unsympathetic neighbors is odor. Odor issues can contribute to both compliance and legal headaches. Fortunately, thanks to a new mobile vapor system recently released by the industrial odor control industry’s technology leader, Byers Scientific, landfill operators have a powerful new weapon in the war on odor.
Last year, Byers Scientific unveiled the HPII23M, its next generation mobile odor control system featuring a trailer-mounted full-size patented Byers Vapor-Phase unit supported by an onboard commercial-grade generator for truly mobile deployment. Capable of covering up to 1,200 linear feet of vapor distribution via its retractable lay-flat hosing, the HPII23M is designed to allow for flexible placement near the most common source of landfill odors, the working face, even as it moves.
The proximity of the odor control system to the odor source has significant impact on efficacy as odor neutralization through vapor application is predicated on contact with the odor molecules coming off the work face. Simply put – the closer you can get to the odorous compounds, the better success you can have neutralizing them before they escape the landfill and reach neighboring communities. It is a simple concept that requires complex technology to accomplish.
Fortunately, Byers Scientific has once again empowered its customers through innovation. The HPII23M is powerful technology that is simple to use (it can be operated anywhere at any time from a smart phone, tablet or computer via the Cloud-based SCADA platform) and doesn’t require significant manpower (it is designed to operate for up to 2.5 weeks without being refilled and with an optional full-service package, Byers Scientific can even handle the cleaning, maintenance and service).
Through the daily utilization of HPII23M units near the working face, communities can rest assured that their landfill neighbor is taking its responsibilities seriously by deploying the most advanced technology on the market to combat odors. Without question, odor will remain a formidable opponent for solid waste operations for the foreseeable future, but with improved tools like the HPII23M, it is no longer an insurmountable one.
