Application
Odor Control for Landfills & Garbage Yards
Odor from garbage yards travels with the wind and quickly becomes a complaint from neighbours. A perimeter fog curtain with the right neutralizer keeps odor inside the site.
The challenge
Where the odor comes from
Fresh and legacy waste release odorous gases as they decompose, especially when heaps are disturbed.
- Tipping and unloading areas
- Open waste heaps and legacy waste mining
- Leachate ponds and drains
- Waste transfer stations and compactor sheds

Frequently asked questions
Can the system cover a large yard?
Yes. Long perimeter lines are split into zones that run in sequence so one pump unit can cover a large area.
Does it help with dust too?
A fog system also settles fine dust, but nozzle sizing differs. Tell us if dust is a concern and we will design for both.
Have an odor problem at your site?
Tell us about the site and the odor source. Our team will suggest the right system, chemical or monitoring setup and send a quote.
