Abstract

Odorous emissions from
wastewater treatment systems and treatment facilities affecting quality of life
have given local populations reasons to complain for decades. Odor occurring
from wastewater treatment plants occurs in entrance, in sludge thickening and
digestion, in sludge dewatering units, in dewatered activated sludge conveying,
storage and drying phases. The first step in this study has been identified all
the potential odor sources in a waste water treatment plant. In this study, the
cause of the odor problem of the wastewater treatment plant in Turkey and
removal methods have been investigated. 

Keywords

odor problems, wastewater treatment plants, air pollution.

Türkiye’deki Atıksu Arıtma Tesislerinde Koku Problemleri

Abstract

Atıksu arıtma tesislerinde oluşan koku emisyonları yüzyıllardır yakın
civarındaki populasyonun yaşam kalitesini etkilemekte ve şikayetlere neden
olmaktadır. Atıksu arıtma tesislerinde koku, giriş yapılarında, çamur
yoğunlaştırma ve çürütme, çamur susuzlaştırma ünitelerinde, susuzlaştırılmış
aktif çamurun iletilmesinde, depolanmasında, kurutulması aşamalarında
oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışma da ilk aşamada atıksu arıtma tesislerindeki potansiyel
koku kaynakları araştırılmıştır. 

Keywords

koku problemleri, atıksu arıtma tesisi, hava kirliliği
