Custom OE – Odor Control Case Study

This case study is about odor control at a food processing wastewater treatment facility using Custom OE by Custom Biologicals. This odor control case study is very typical of sites we run into; odor issues are reported by the local resident.

Industrial wastewater treatment generally has an element of odor control. After all, it’s nice to have BOD, COD, and FOG under control but if local residents start to complain odors, regulators and politicians tend to notice.

Custom OE is a biological odor control product manufactured by Custom Biologicals. In this case study, Custom OE concentrate was used.
