Dramatic Reduction in Odours Detectable

Food By-Products Odour Suppression: AtomisterAiro

Email testimonial received from client:

"I'd like to tell you how pleased we are with the [AtomisterAiro] odour control system you installed for us in the 'Black Gut' room here.

In 2006, concerns were raised that odours produced at our pork processing plant were causing nuisance to our neighbours. After an initial assessment by an environmental consultant, Corgin were asked to quote for an odour control system to treat these odours.

It was felt that the main source of offensive odours was the Black Gut treatment room; consequently, a trial was initiated using a Corgin air-atomising odour control system. Some of the nozzles were sprayed directly into the extraction ductwork, resulting in a dramatic reduction in the odours detectable downwind of the source.

The system was permanently installed, but required re-installation when the roof and extraction system were replaced in late 2007.

We experienced odour complaints on a few occasions, but we were able to link these to times when the odour control system was not switched on for various reasons. As a result, the controls for the odour control system were linked into the extraction system to ensure that odour control was always provided when odours were being released from the building. Regular visits by your engineers ensure the system is maintained, and it has operated effectively to date.

We are also looking at the new system you have perfected and trialled on our container trucks that seals in the odour, looking at it with the technical team and slaughter line manager this system looks very promising.

We are happy to recommend your services to others, and thank you for your help in providing this solution.

Best Regards,

Bob"

A Cost-Effective Solution to a Potentially 'Job-Stopping' Problem

Recycling Project Dust Suppression: DustLayer

Extract from email testimonial received from client:

"Hello, please find attached our reference for you.
We were approached by the new landlord of an industrial estate, to empty two warehouse units of shredded plasterboard that had been left there by the previous tenants. Upon inspection, the scale of the job became apparent.  This was not a simple few skips worth but closer to 10,000 tonne. As the adjoining units were still in use, it would take not only our experience in bulk waste removal to carry out the job, but an expert on keeping the dust nuisance to a minimum.

This is where Corgin came in.

After a couple of lengthy phone calls, we arranged to meet on site to look at how we could carry out the job with the minimum interference from the dust suppression units. As we would be moving through two units, we needed a mobile solution. It couldn't have a fan on it as this would kick up the dust creating another problem and we needed to control the flow to prevent material that wasn't being moved straight away from heating and self-combusting.

Corgin's solution was to provide two [DustLayer] units. Each was fitted with a mast that was high enough to spray water over the top of the articulated bulkers we were using to move the plasterboard in. The pressure could be regulated and the units were easy to move around the working area. The units proved to be a success with the machine drivers as they delivered enough water to the board to keep the dust down while loading. Vision was not impaired and as a result, there were no incidents or accidents on the whole project.

While the Environment Agency were involved from the start, a surprise inspection midway through the 3-week project provided them with comfort knowing that the right people had been chosen for the job.  As soon as they saw the dust suppression units covering the working area with a fine spray, they knew that problems arising from the dust would be kept to a minimum.

Late on Friday afternoon, one of the units would not start. A quick call to Corgin head office had a service engineer out within half an hour. He arranged for the unit to be collected first thing Monday morning. While this was being arranged, a new engine was couriered up to him and the full unit was back on site and fully operational before 10am Tuesday morning.

Working with Corgin has been a pleasure, from the initial phone call right through to the end of this project. They have been on the end of the phone whenever we needed help and provided us with a cost effective solution to a potentially 'job stopping' problem.

Thank you Giles, Colin, Carlton and all at Corgin for all your help, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Chris."
