Odor Control EquipmentSonozaire 330 Ozone Generator ODOR
CONTROL There are two types of odors – (1) the real odor – the pure sensation of smell, and (2)
psychological odors or heightened awareness odors --odors that people think they
smell based on previous experience, suggestions and past impressions.
Often this is the most difficult to remove. How
is odor transmitted? (1) By
humidity – lower humidity, lower odor; (2
& 3) Temperature and evaporation – heat expands and releases more volatile
organic compounds ; and, (4) penetration of odors into surfaces and fabrics. The
health benefits of odor control are (1) reduced anxiety; (2) better
productivity; (3)
removal of potentially harmful contamination; and, (4) a better sense of well
being. Nature’s
deodorization techniques include heat, light, air movement and ozone gas. The
processes of Odor Control are: Masking:
disguising
an odor with a more pleasant odor is usually temporary. Pairing:
A
chemical is combined with the malodor molecule or substance and then gives it
some of its own chemical properties, which transforms the odor’s chemistry
into a new non-odorous compound. Modification:
A
chemical changes the molecular structure of the odor molecule eliminating its
ability to produce the odor. Ozone:
An
Ozone Generator is an electrically powered device utilized to produce an
oxidizing odor control gas on location. Chemical
Oxidizing: May
be applied on location of area that needs the odor care for. Basic
principles of Odor Control are: (1) Eliminate the source. (2) Clean the contaminated are. (3) Recreate the conditions of contamination that caused the odor, using a deodorizing fog or gas. It may be necessary to seal the source that was exposed to the contamination.
