Common odor control methods often fall short
When you examine plant-based odor removers, like Ecosorb, against other common odor solution techniques, the comparisons are stark.
Most solutions require complex systems which are costly to build, use, and fix, and demand expertise to maintain.
Many solutions depend on hazardous materials that can produce harmful compounds, exhaust, or even residual odors.
It's clear. Ecosorb plant-based odor eliminators are the only option for safer, more effective, industrial-strength odor control.
The pros and cons of other odor control techniques
Masking Agents
Chemicals are sprayed into the air, using synthetic fragrances to "hide" odors.
Chemical Scrubbers
Odors are added to highly reactive chemicals — acids, caustics, oxidizers, and surfactants. The odorous compounds chemically react with the solution, removing odors.
Adsorption (Carbon Filters)
Gas particles from the air penetrate the pores of an adsorbent material – activated carbon, zeolite, or silica gel – and removes odors from the air as it passes through.
Ozone
Generators create ozone molecules, which are highly reactive to organic material.
Biological Filters
Contaminated air passes through soil, compost, wood chips, or other organic material. As the odorous air flows through the material, pollutants (including odor molecules) transfer into a thin biofilm on its surface. Microorganisms in the biofilm eliminate odors.
Biological Oxidation (Scrubber)
Air is forced upward through an adsorption column filled with synthetic material. Water containing microorganisms circulates through the system, feeding off odor- causing compounds and releasing clean air.
Thermal & Catalytic Converters
The system burns odorous gases, supposedly destroying process odors. The gas is passed over (or through) catalytic materials, converting residual gases into compounds like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water.
Incineration
Odor-causing waste and gas are burned at high temperatures.
