REMOVING ODOR FROM WATER
Removing odor from water can be done through treatment in the form of activated carbon or oxidation-reduction. Aeration is also another treatment method which can be used as long as the contaminants are gas sources, such as hydrogen sulfide. Chlorine is the most widely used oxidant to remove odor from water, but at best deemed mildly effective. Oxygen and potassium permanganate are also only mildly effective water treatment solutions. Oxidizers such as ozone and chlorine dioxide are by far the most efficient in eliminating odor from water. The extent of activated carbon’s success in treating smell from water relies upon the existence of organic. If the smell is due to H2S, a green sand filter or degasifier is a good alternative for this type of odor reduction. Greensand filters utilize a special coating of manganese oxide which corrodes hydrogen sulfide gas to hard sulfur minerals, which are then filtered out. Degasifiers function through clearing hydrogen sulfide from water and decreasing the overall smell of the water.
