Case Study: Odour control for large UK ready meals manufacturing site.
Specialised Ozone Solutions (SOS) odour control solution is successfully managing odours and improving the air quality for Midlands based Ready Meals Food manufacturer.
At SOS, we understand the unique challenges faced by the food manufacturing industry. Over the years, we’ve helped a wide range of businesses, from bakeries and meat processors to ready meal producers, enhance their environmental performance and operational efficiency.
Tackling Odour Control Challenges in Food Production
One of our UK clients produces an extensive range of ready meals for several leading British supermarkets. With aromatic dishes such as curries, lasagne, and rich sauces on their menu, large-scale production inevitably generates strong cooking odours.
Operating 24/7 and located close to residential areas, the site needed an effective solution to minimise odours and comply with environmental regulations set out in the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Non-compliance can lead to enforcement action by local authorities, including production restrictions or, in severe cases, site closure.
A Tailored, Cost-Effective Odour Control Solution
Gill Molloy, Managing Director at SOS, explained:
“We visited the site to survey all emission points from production areas and collect data to determine the right technology for the job. Based on our findings, we designed a tailored and cost-effective solution that we knew would eliminate the problem.”
Gill added:
“Because the air contained significant amounts of grease and water vapour, the abatement solution consisted of a Primozone GM6 ozone generator, followed by a wet scrubbing system, next a heat exchanger, to reduce humidity and dry the air before the final phase of the abatement solution, the carbon filter.”
Smart Odour Control with Maximum Efficiency
SOS Odour Abatement Solutions are engineered to achieve up to 95% odour destruction efficiency. Each system is fully automated using a programmable logic controller (PLC), which continuously monitors performance to ensure consistent, reliable operation.
