Summer 2007
Articles	Tech Talk Ah, the Smell of the Treatment Plant in the Summer… These 10-lb deodorant blocks dissolve in air. Summer brings lots of sunshine, warmth, fun—and strange smells at the treatment plant. You don’t have to live with it, though. USABlueBook offers a number of ways to clear up any foul odors that may be lingering around. Masking agents mask the funky odors with a pleasant scent (cherry, pine, etc). Our most popular masking agents are 20-pound deodorant blocks which are air-activated and gradually dissolve over 12 to 14 weeks. Windscent Sleeves are another air-activated masking agent. These refillable sleeves last about 90 days and provide a nice scent when air passes through them. If you prefer a liquid masking agent, try the PlantPRO Sludge De-Odor Super Concentrate. Apply by chemical feed pump or sprayer, or simply pour it directly onto the odor source. Odor eliminators or neutralizers contain a water-soluble blend of essential oils and extracts that absorb and destroy odors on contact. These liquids are typically dispersed using sprayers, foggers or atomizers. They are environmentally safe and will work indoors as well as outdoors. Odor-eliminating enzymes digest odor-causing organics and eliminate the source of the odor. Our Formula 52 is a liquid enzyme that you can spray or pour directly on the odor source. See pages 219 to 221 of our 118 Catalog to read more about these odor control products. Copyright © 2007, USABlueBook®, All rights reserved.
