Scrubbers purify air and control odors in the wastewater industry, effectively removing contaminants from the air. Biological scrubbers create a self-sustaining environment where bacteria digest pollutants, offering low maintenance and operational simplicity, particularly suitable for stable gas concentrations. On the other hand, compact and versatile pollution control barrels use activated carbon to eliminate odors and harmful gases, making them ideal for various applications including lift stations and small facilities. Both types of scrubbers ensure cleaner air and contribute to overall efficiency. Check out some product options below.
DeLoach Industries Biological Tower Scrubber
The Biological Tower Scrubber from DeLoach Industries represents a cost-effective, innovative approach to air purification, particularly in municipal applications. It functions as a self-contained ecosystem, relying on bacteria initially seeded onto internal media substrate. These bacteria attach, breed and multiply, directly contacting contaminated air. They break down and digest contaminants, utilizing them as a food source for growth. In hydrogen sulfide treatment, the reaction produces sulphuric acid as a waste, lowering water pH and potentially harming the bacteria. To maintain a healthy environment, the scrubber requires the addition of a base like caustic. Gas-containing contaminants are forced into the tower, where they travel upward over a media bed cultured to support live microorganisms. Biological scrubbers require less maintenance and are easier to operate. Their adaptability may be challenged when faced with rapidly changing gas concentrations, and are best suited for concentrations that remain at a steady state.

Industrial Odor Control PCB-170
Industrial Odor Control’s PCB-170 pollution control barrel is an economical solution for active ventilation odor control. It provides 170-200 cfm of airflow (depending upon static pressure of piping.) It can provide eight air exchanges per hour in a 1,500 cubic foot space. This scrubber is built on an HDPE barrel with a 304 stainless steel manifold and an American Fan AF-9 pressure blower mounted directly on the lid, providing for a small footprint. It is easily installed and can be customized for any given environment or situation. It is paired with Norit Darco’s H2S Sulfursorb Plus, a high-performance activated carbon developed specifically for removing hydrogen sulfide from biogas streams. Applications include lift station wet wells where it helps prevent concrete erosion due to sewer gas. It also provides relief from nuisance odor and VOC control for small warehouses, campground septic vents, drum filling operations, sludge press rooms or anywhere active ventilation is required below 200 cfm.
