How Best To USe AIR REPAIR

For a chemical reaction an "AIR REPAIR" molecule must come into contact with the odorous compound molecule. The chemical reaction has a Stoichiometric ratio of 1:1, so the amount of "AIR REPAIR" to use depends on how bad the odour problem is.

MAKING CONTACT
This can be achieved by two methods. GASEOUS DIFFUSION and LIQUID CONTACT


1. GASEOUS DIFFUSION 

It is worth explaining that unlike scent, "AIR REPAIR" does not blow away in the wind. Being charged, it will seek out target molecules and encapsulate them, with both the target molecule and the "AIR REPAIR" molecule falling to the ground as an organic salt. If the "AIR REPAIR" molecule does not find a target, it will attach itself to a negatively charged surface and wait for an odorous molecule. As with all gases, the odorous molecules are constantly moving and given time will come into contact with an "AIR REPAIR" molecule and be destroyed. It is estimated that 3 seconds contact time is required.

Spraying "AIR REPAIR" into the air can be achieved by a variety of methods, from the sample trigger spray pack to the special purpose engineered systems. All "AIR REPAIR" systems are designed to use the most economical amount of "AIR REPAIR" solution.

We show for your interest some of our standard spraying systems and their particular uses.

2. LIQUID CONTACT

"AIR REPAIR"
is especially effective in capturing its target in solution. The solution does not smell at this stage, odours occur when the liquid passes some point which breaks the flow, say at the end of the pipe or weir where cavitation occurs to reduce the water pressure and the odorous gases are stripped out of solution.

The system of applying "AIR REPAIR" is ideal for waste treatment plants, animal and fish processing plants and pig and chicken farms which have wash down systems, where the waste water is collected either in a settlement pond system or holding tanks.

The "AIR REPAIR" molecules will attach to the odorous sulphides to remove toxins from the water and over about seven days will spread through the whole anaerobic/facultative/aerobic pond system to remove odours. This action chemically bonds (valency bond) to the hydrogen sulphide to form a non-odorous salt. This salt will then be atracted by bacteria and broken down, i.e. no increase in BOD, and no regeneration of smells.

We believe that overall the "AIR REPAIR" can best be thought of as a detoxifying catalyst which beneficially affects the pond ecology. It is extremely powerful.

The "AIR REPAIR" product, which is not required to destroy the odours, will continue in the stream and deodorise any air that is stripped from the stream due to water turbulence at the treatment station or ponds. The "AIR REPAIR" will be of great benefit in continuing to control any odours.

If your plant is using a polymer for dewatering sludge, then up to 40% can be saved by using the "AIR REPAIR" system.

Maintenance and downtime costs can be greatly reduced by using "AIR REPAIR". The very corrosive hydrogen sulphide is being eliminated from the water. Maintenance savings will pay for the "AIR REPAIR" product.

The reduction of hydrogen sulphide and the breaking down of the fat content will reduce considerably the maintenance costs of the plant and machinery.
