Description and Use

Industrial, municipal and manufacturing facilities release odors that have an impact on the environ-

ment, the community’s well-being and the plant worker’s safety and productivity. These facilities are

now facing the challenge of meeting and maintaining compliance to ambient air standards driven by air pollution regulatory agencies and workplace health and safety enforcement organizations.

GE’s Water & Process Technologies provides a comprehensive odor solution package that combines ProSweet products, equipment and operational recommendations to assist industrial and municipal facilities mitigate or eliminate their odor emissions.

Products and Services Offered

ProSweet odor control technology includes a variety of different products to address water- related odor problems arising from the release of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, ammonia, amines, volatile organics and general nuisance odors.

Control of Hydrogen Sulfide and Reduced Sulfur compounds:

For the control of odors due to reduced sulfur compounds such as H2S and mercaptans, ProSweet odor control solutions include GE proprietary nonamine based organic sulfide scavengers and inhibitors. These products have been successfully applied in water or onto sludge phases to selectively scavenge and/or inhibit these odorants, consequently mitigating their release into the air. They are non-toxic, non-corrosive and easy to apply liquid blends. Their application does not generate sludge or result in a system pH change.

Control of Nuisance odors:

For the mitigation of a wide variety of other nonsulfide nuisance odors, ProSweet odor control solutions include unique NPE-free blends of essential oils. This combined with properly engineered application methods provide an effective air phase treatment solution to control unwanted odors.

Application and Treatment

Proper application and treatment levels depend on many factors and odor control systems are specifically designed for each application and for each individual facility’s odor mitigation needs.

To determine which odor control program is best

suited for your facility’s need, please consult with a

GE representative.

ProSweet products are available in several container and delivery options.
