Enhanced biofiltration provides reliable cost effective control of nuisance odours from wastewater treatment plants. In this project profile, Yorkshire Water and Wessex Water demonstrate their commitment to ensure that residents local to their wastewater treatment plants do not experience nuisance odours.

Operational reliability, significantly lower running costs compared to other technologies and low environmental impact were all factors that led Yorkshire Water and Wessex Water to select enhanced biofiltration as the most appropriate treatment technology.

Bord na Móna’s specialists were able to provide a comprehensive range of services from odour monitoring and assessment through to odour control systems on a turnkey basis.

Bord na Móna worked closely with both Yorkshire Water and Wessex Water to design and install enhanced biofiltration plants to meet stringent odour control limits on their sludge treatment facilities. They supported these plants with performance guarantees, operator training and maintenance programmes.
