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 Passive:
No electricity: Reduce energy costs and avoid wiring headaches
Lower maintenance: No moving parts = fewer failures
Easier to install: Mounts in minutes, no permits, plumbing, or electrical work
Cheaper to operate: Zero utility draw and minimal staff training
Why IronOx Stands Out
Ships same day, no lead times
Works with standard vent openings (4-12")
Outperforms carbon with >99.8% odor removal
Includes Brimstone™ media on-hazardous
The Future Is Simple
As municipalities push to modernize infrastructure while cutting costs, passive systems like IronOx offer a smart, fast, scalable solution. You don’t need a massive system to solve a manageable odor problem. You just need something that works , and ships today.
