Odour control remains a significant and ongoing challenge for water and wastewater treatment facilities. Emissions such as hydrogen sulphide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can have detrimental effects, impacting both operational efficiency and the well-being of neighbouring communities. While traditional containment methods exist, they can sometimes prove inadequate due to issues like material degradation, compromised seals, or substantial long-term maintenance expenses.
Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) covers present a versatile and long-lasting solution to this complex challenge. Going beyond mere physical containment, these covers integrate reliable design with high performance characteristics to create a cleaner and more effective odour-managed environment. Additionally, SureLine® HD FRP panels are engineered to withstand harsh and corrosive conditions typical of wastewater treatment settings, establishing them as a reliable option for odour containment. SureLine® HD FRP panels are also capable of handling load-bearing requirements in compliance with AS1657 and AS1170 standards, designed to handle heavy foot traffic, providing safe access for maintenance and inspection personnel.
How SureLine®HD FRP Panels Enhance Odour Control and Operational Efficiency
SureLine®HD panels provide a dependable solution for overall odour management and key features such as:
- Minimised Gas Permeation: Even minute gas molecules can escape through lower-grade materials. The high-density composition of SureLine® HD FRP panels creates a pathway that significantly restricts their movement, effectively trapping odours within the containment structure.
- Superior Joint Sealing: The stability of SureLine® HD FRP panels ensures tight and consistent seals at all joints and connection points. This precise fit minimises the risk of fugitive emissions, a common concern with less stable materials.
- Long-Term Asset Protection: Unlike materials susceptible to degradation or requiring frequent maintenance in aggressive chemical environments, FRP offers an extended service life. This durability translates to reduced replacement costs and fewer unplanned operational disruptions.
- Design Versatility and Customisation: FRP odour control panels are easily designed to fit custom areas, accommodating diverse configurations such as tanks, channels, and bespoke designs. Moreover, the ability to integrate trafficable surfaces, access hatches, and handrail systems provides enhanced functionality and safety.
When it comes to common challenges experienced in the Wastewater Industry, SureLine® HD FRP panels provide a well-grounded solution for achieving effective odour containment, protecting infrastructure, and mitigating community concerns.
