Granulator Oxidation Wet scrubbers that use an oxidizing agent such as Scrubber hydrogen peroxide, bleach, or others, as the scrubbing solution. Oxidizing agents may be problematic for wastewater treatment. Granulator Thermal Thermal oxidation is highly effective at removing odorous Treatment VOCs. Odorous exhaust flow may be directed to the boiler combustion chamber for incineration, or to a thermal oxidizer. Granulator Biofilter Process exhausts are directed to a conditioning system and biofilter where microorganisms biologically degrade the organic compounds. Granulator Ozonation Concentrated ozone injected into exhaust gases to oxidize VOCs. Granulator Non-Thermal Activated plasmas gas injected into waste gas stream to Plasma oxidize VOCs. Treatment All Secondary Process Use process monitoring, transfer flow monitoring in Sources Optimization: conjunction with automated shut-off to avoid overfills or spills. Reduced ingredient wastage and less potential for Production human error results in potential of reduced fugitive odour Scheduling emission sources. All Secondary Process Use of tank volume monitoring, transfer flow monitoring in Sources Optimization: conjunction with automated shut-off to avoid overfills or spills. Reduced ingredient/product wastage and less Enhanced potential for human error results in potential of reduced Automation fugitive odour emission sources. All Secondary Best Develop SOPs and train employees on BMPs for process Sources Management and control equipment maintenance and operation, good Practices housekeeping, spill prevention and response, reducing chemical and cleaner usage, and managing wastes. Of specific note, procedures are in place to ensure raw sugar and off-spec materials are segregated, handled, stored and disposed of in a manner that limits the potential for fermentation and spoilage. Implement and enforce effective vehicle sanitation practices.
