The Sulphus reactor is fabricated in a GRP vessel and factory assembled for fast and easy installation. The winded plastic packing media (Odour- Pack) inside the vessel serves as the support material for the de- velopment of the biofilm. The OdourPack has a specific surface area greater than 400m2/m3, and a porosity above 92%. The system is com- pleted by a water control cabi- net interfaced with a PLC con- trol housed in the same cabinet, with a water flow meter and automatic valves allowing dis- continuous spraying of water (usually final effluent) over the surface of the OdourPack to 8 INTRODUCTION United Utilities Yorkshire Water Thames Water Anglian Water Severn Trent Water Dwr Cymru Welsh Water ^ Wessex Water South West Water Southern Water Scottish Water Northumbrian Water Northern Ireland Water Jersey Water Guernsey Water Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority Water and sewerage companies Companies serving smaller geographic areas, not shown on map, are: Albion Water Independent Water Networks Peel Water Networks Scottish and Southern Energy Veolia Water Projects introduction.indd 8 08/01/2014 09:18 INTRODUCTION Water and sewerage companies Companies serving smaller geographic areas, not shown on map, are: Albion Water Independent Water Networks Peel Water Networks Scottish and Southern Energy Veolia Water Projects 19 THE WATER COMPANIES, AUTHORITIES AND LICENSEES Operational Facts 2012/13 Turnover £3m Number of employees (fte) 20 Area served Various Population – water 1,000 Population – wastewater 3,000 Water Services Water supplied per day (average) 18Ml Household connections 400 Non-household connections 2 Sewerage Services Wastewater treatment works 2 Household connections 1,100 Non-household connections 50 Albion Water Albion Water Harpenden Hall Southdown Road Harpenden Hertfordshire AL5 1TE Tel: 01582 767720 Email: info@albionwater.co.uk www.albionwater.co.uk Out of hours calls and customer help line Tel: 0845 604 2355 Albion was set up in the mid-1990s and was the first newly licensed water company since the privatisation of the water industry in 1989.

In one UK project, water is sprayed in counter current mode with the airflow set at 23,600m3/ hr and with a designed inlet odour concentration of 160,000OUE/m3, including H2S concentrations of 80ppm. Compared to conventional physicochemical systems or bio- logical ones using other types of packing media (e.g. pumice stone) the Sulphus has several benefits in terms of (whole life) costs, life time and maintenance requirements. The operational principle of biotrickling filters involves the oxygen and pollut- ants mass transfer from the gas phase to the biofilm where the biodegradation takes place, therefore the high specific The low operational costs of a Sulphus is mainly due to its lower energy consumption, low maintenance and because biotrickling filters require no chemicals A solution: Synthetic media can make the difference
