Veolia Water Technologies Successfully Addresses Hydrogen Sulphide Issue at Food Manufacturer's Site
Key Ideas
  • Veolia Water Technologies supplied Hydrex 6935 to address hydrogen sulphide issue in a food manufacturer's water treatment system, providing immediate results.
  • The specially formulated chemical broke down the hydrogen sulphide, eliminating the foul odour and stabilizing the water to prevent further issues.
  • The solution required minimal cost and disruption to the site, with easy management and immediate effectiveness, ensuring no recurrence of the problem.
  • Veolia Water Technologies' ongoing partnership showcased the effectiveness of Hydrex 6935 in treating hydrogen sulphide, offering a sustainable solution for water treatment systems.
Veolia Water Technologies collaborated with a food manufacturer to tackle an emerging issue of hydrogen sulphide in the water treatment system using its Hydrex 6935 chemical solution. Staff at the site had reported a sulphur smell, which was traced back to hydrogen sulphide build-up in the wastewater treatment system. Veolia's solution immediately eliminated the odour and prevented further formation of hydrogen sulphide, ensuring no recurrence of the problem. Hydrogen sulphide, a toxic gas with a characteristic odour, was effectively neutralized by Hydrex 6935, demonstrating its efficiency in addressing wastewater issues. The application of the chemical required minimal cost and disruption, with easy management for the on-site team. The successful resolution highlighted the importance of proactive water treatment measures and the significance of sustainable solutions in partnership with clients. Brian Jones from Veolia Water Technologies emphasized the efficacy of Hydrex 6935 in contrast to aerosol spray systems, which only mask odours without addressing the root cause. This case study exemplifies the positive impact of tailored chemical solutions in environmental management and the value of long-term client partnerships in delivering effective water treatment technologies.
