Odor control with Effective Microorganisms

If there is one thing that is ALWAYS consistent with EM•1^®, it is its ability to control odors. The application rate varies according to how bad the odor is and what is being treated. As a rule of thumb, we generally will start with a 100:1 application of water to EM•1^®. If this rate was not able to control the odor, another application may be necessary.

Water Treatment Equipment Covered in Dry Raw Sewage

Some examples of what odors can be easily eliminated are:

Skunk
Garbage
Manure
Urine
Fish
Food
Fuels
Chemicals
Crime Scenes

Benefits

Hydrogen Sulfide Reduction, Mercaptans, Ammonia.

Dramatic reduction of odors, such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide

Prevent the production of H₂S

Corrosion prevention

Fast-acting. Odors are reduced to near 0ppm on contact

Applications

Depending on the condition, an application rate of 1:10-1:100 is calculated. The area is sprayed with the appropriately-sized piece of equipment and odor is eliminated. If this is to be a daily application, a fogging unit, injection pump, and timer are installed.

A fresh water source is need for scheduled treatments.
