Using Foggers to fight against covid-19

 Maintaining a safe and healthy environment for workers is essential in any industrial setting. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of air sanitisation has become even more critical. One effective method of air sanitisation is the use of foggers and sprays.

Foggers work by producing a fine mist of sanitizing solution, typically at a fine micron, which is then dispersed into the air. This mist can reach every nook and cranny of the room to sanitise and disinfect surfaces. Sprays, on the other hand, are applied directly to surfaces and objects to sanitise and disinfect them. Both methods are effective in killing germs, bacteria, and viruses.

Anotec Environmental provides high-quality foggers and sprays for industrial and commercial use. They offer a range of products such as electrostatic sprayers that are designed to effectively sanitize and disinfect large areas quickly and efficiently. Their products are suitable for various settings and industries, and are designed to meet the highest standards of quality and safety.

It is important to note that foggers and sprays should not be used as a replacement for traditional air filtration systems or proper ventilation. These systems are still the most effective way to remove larger particles such as dust, dirt, and debris from the air. Additionally, foggers and sprays are not effective against certain types of contaminants, such as chemicals or toxic gases.

In conclusion, foggers and sprays are an effective tool in reducing the spread of germs, bacteria, and other airborne contaminants in industrial settings. When used in conjunction with traditional air filtration systems and proper ventilation, they can help to ensure a safe and healthy environment for workers. For high-quality foggers and sprays, consider looking into Anotec's products to meet your industrial needs.

Sewer technology passes sniff test

University of Queensland

monitoring technology to identify potential odour and corrosion hotspots in urban sewerage networks has been adopted by ASX-listed environmental management technology firm Envirosuite.

The SeweX technology uses mathematical modelling to predict odour and corrosion hotspots and to optimise mitigation strategies in sewer mains, and was developed by researchers from UQ’s Advanced Water Management Centre.

UQ’s technology transfer company UniQuest negotiated a licence agreement with Envirosuite.

AWMC Director Professor Zhiguo Yuan said the technology was developed in response to needs identified by the water industry.

“Corrosion and odour problems in sewers are most often caused by sulphate-reducing bacteria in sewer biofilms that produce hydrogen sulphide,” Professor Yuan said.

“Hydrogen sulphide is released into the atmosphere above the wastewater, causing odour problems, and is converted by sulphide-oxidising bacteria into sulphuric acid, which is corrosive to concrete sewer pipes.

“Sewer networks can include many kilometres of sewer pipe and various topographical elements, such as rising mains, gravity mains, pumping stations and manholes. It is practically difficult to physically inspect all these structures to identify corrosion issues, making modelling a more efficient and cost-effective alternative.”

Envirosuite Chief Scientist Robin Ormerod said corrosion in sewer and drinking water systems was estimated to cost almost $1 billion every year in Australia.

“This technology will keep towns and cities with reduced odour, and will save wastewater operators millions of dollars every year in operational costs and consumer complaint management,” Mr Ormerod said.

“This partnership is an exciting one. Bringing together tools like the UQ-developed SeweX, with Envirosuite’s digital technology focus, is hugely powerful.”

UniQuest CEO Dr Dean Moss said SeweX incorporated complex algorithms into its model to cleverly predict odour and corrosion hotspots across sewerage networks.

“It is fantastic to see UQ research helping an Australian company like Envirosuite to drive key improvements to the way water utilities manage wastewater to benefit communities right across the country, and even globally,” Dr Moss said.

Envirosuite will integrate SeweX into its product suite in early 2020.

Pahang DOE: Water supply at Sungai Semantan plant free from odour contamination

KUANTAN, Oct 11 ― The water at the Semantan raw water plant in Temerloh, which is transferred to the Langat and Cheras water treatment plants (LRA) in Selangor, is free from any odour contamination from Saturday until today. Pahang Department of Environment (DOE) director Rosli Zul said the reading was zero based on the measurement of the rate of odour pollution called Threshold Odour Number (TON) to indicate that the quality of water on the time and days in question was normal until today. “DOE obtained the date from the operator at the Semantan water plant. According to the standard operating procedure, the operator must monitor the odour quality and measure the odour pollution every hour. “The Pahang DOE will act if the data they recorded odour pollution, but until today, the water at the Semantan plant is normal, the TON reading is zero,” he said when contacted by Bernama today. However, he did not denied a little odour pollution was recorded on Friday (October 7) at the plant at 9.45pm and it was detected much earlier at 7pm, at the Langat and Cheras LRA. “The process of transferring raw water from the Semantan plant to the two water treatment plants will take 12 hours and based on the monitoring record from 8am to 8pm on October 7, no pollution took place and it was only detected at 9.45pm,” he said. Rosli said after 11pm on the same day, the TON reading of raw water at the Semantan plant had returned to normal and did not indicate any odour pollution. He said the odour pollution was detected again at the Semantan plant at a level of four TON at dawn (5am) on October 8 (Saturday) and the situation returned to normal after 9am. ― Bernama

Charlton residents rally over abattoir odour, disease fears

Andrew Backhouse | 30th Oct 2015 5:00 AM 



A GROUP of residents with concerns about a proposed meat processing facility on the outskirts of Toowoomba is holding a community meeting tonight. FKG Group is planning to build an $80 million abattoir in the Witmack Industrial Park about 10km west of Toowoomba. A development application is before Toowoomba Regional Council. The public notification stage ended on September 22. Speaking on behalf of residents, Chrissie Bach said in their view the development did not belong in its proposed location, which is zoned for medium impact. She said neighbours of the proposed facility were worried about offensive odours and the impact they would have on future development in the Charlton precinct. Ms Bach also raised concerns about alleged health risks. Toowoomba union delegate Chris McGaw and Oakey veterinarian David Pascoe have publicly raised noise, odour and planning concerns about the project. FKG Group manager of property development Dallas Hunter has defended the project saying the state-of-the-art design would ensure that the facility would have little to no impact on nearby residents. "It's just as important for us and our neighbours that we have a low-impact or nil-impact plant and that's what we're designing," he said.

EPA stumped by fish odour problem

The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) says there is nothing it can do to reduce the odour from dead and dying fish at Lake Boga, near Swan Hill in north-west Victoria.

The Swan Hill Rural City Council says it is waiting for advice from the EPA about managing the odour.

But the EPA's acting chairman Bruce Dawson says the only way to remove the odour is to remove the fish, but that is not possible because of their state of decay and because deep mud around the lake is preventing access.

"The sheer scale of the incident up there at the moment and the number of fish that have died means that there isn't any option other than some attempt to remove the fish," he said.

"Unfortunately that hasn't been successful and under the current conditions is unlikely to be successful.

"If the conditions were to change so that access to the water was possible - if the mud was to dry out and harden to enable vehicles to access it, that sort of thing - unfortunately that's probably not going to happen during the time the fish decompose, but we are evaluating that each day."
