Tackling Community-Wide Odor Challenges in UAE

Check out this summary on “Tackling Community-Wide Odor Challenges in UAE”.

Introduction
Odor issues associated with the storage of Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) water in irrigation tanks can pose significant challenges for sustainable water management. This case study explores the implementation of a Bio Catalyst dosing regime to effectively control odor in TSE storage tanks, ensuring a sustainable and odor-free irrigation system.

Observations & Results
Within two weeks of commencing Bio Catalyst dosing, a noticeable reduction in odor levels. Continuous dosing over the 3-month monitoring period successfully maintained odor-free conditions in the irrigation tank. No secondary issues, such as increased turbidity, foaming, or dosage-related concerns, were detected during the dosage period. Irrigation operations proceeded without complaints, confirming the effectiveness of the odor control solution.

Conclusion
The dosing of Bio Catalyst at a rate of 1.5 liters per 1000 m³ of TSE water proved to be an effective odor control solution for stored TSE water. The system design, including proper dilution and recirculation, allowed for consistent performance over the 3-month period. Based on these results, it is recommended to continue Bio Catalyst dosing as part of standard TSE management practices.
