Installing the IronOx Vent Scrubber is one of the fastest ways to gain control over hydrogen ulfide (H₂S) odors in municipal wastewater systems. Operators and maintenance teams don't have time or resources for complex systems; that’s why IronOx was designed with field realities in mind. Why Installation Matters In wastewater systems, odor control isn’t optional; it’s required. But many traditional scrubbers require electricity, blowers, and plumbing. These systems take time t

Municipal wastewater departments are under constant pressure: control costs, cut energy, reduce complaints, and simplify operations. Passive odor control offers a better way forward, and IronOx leads the pack. What Is Passive Odor Control? Unlike powered systems (biofilters, chemical scrubbers, fan-driven media beds), passive systems work without electricity. They rely on airflow created by venting to naturally move air through media like Brimstone™. Advantages of Going Passi

IronOx systems are made to work wherever H₂S odors emerge. Here are the top five places IronOx is being used today, and why it’s the preferred solution. Lift Stations Most lift stations vent untreated air into the atmosphere. When H₂S levels spike, odor complaints follow , especially in neighborhoods or high-traffic areas. IronOx mounts directly on vent pipes and neutralizes gas before it escapes. Manholes & Vaults Subsurface odor control is tricky. Traditional systems often

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is one of the most common and most dangerous gases in wastewater treatment. It smells like rotten eggs, corrodes infrastructure, and creates serious health risks. Let’s break down what it is , and how IronOx helps eliminate it. Where Does H₂S Come From? H₂S forms naturally in anaerobic (low oxygen) environments, especially where organic waste is present. In wastewater systems, that includes: Lift stations Manholes Sewer force mains Wet wells and pump st

If you’re still using activated carbon in your scrubbers, you may be throwing away time, money, and performance. Brimstone™ Media changes the game by delivering higher removal efficiency, easier handling, and faster logistics, without the headaches that come with carbon. The Problem with Carbon For decades, activated carbon has been the go-to for H₂S control, but it was never designed specifically for wastewater environments: Saturation and breakthrough : Carbon becomes satur
