When it comes to air monitoring in the waste water treatment industry, the most common challenge is dealing with odour.
Ektimo can assist you with these odour challenges:
- Identifying and ranking your odour sources
- Manage issues with odour complaints from nearby neighbours
- Losing your buffer zone
- Greenhouse gas emissions from point sources, aerators and area sources
We sample from inlet channels, primary sedimentation tanks, aeration tanks, activated sludge tanks, clarifiers, sludge lagoons, sludge drying beds, anaerobic lagoons, facultative lagoons, dissolved air floatation tanks, and any other source that presents.
We have worked with EPAs, regulators, and community groups with the major water boards across Australia and can confidently say we are the industry supplier.
