<\/span><\/div>Claystone Waste: a landfill that bets on real odor control with Bettair<\/h2>\n<\/div>Claystone Waste<\/a>, a leading waste management company in Canada, was looking for a solution to<\/strong> better understand what was happening in the air around the landfill<\/strong> and how it could reduce odor episodes affecting nearby communities.<\/p>\nKnowing that odors<\/strong> come from specific compounds – not from “air in general” – they needed a system that could measure them accurately, in real time and without relying on external laboratories.<\/p>\nThat’s where Bettair<\/strong> comes in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The reality of air quality in landfills<\/h2>\n<\/div>Modern landfills, even if well managed, generate a mixture of gases and particulates that can affect the environment and health. The challenge is that often these compounds cannot be seen, but they can be felt: <\/p>\n
\n- Strong odors<\/li>\n
- Inconvenience for neighboring communities<\/span><\/li>\n
- Risk of non-compliant emissions<\/li>\n
- Increase in hazardous compounds such as H\u2082S or NH\u2083.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
When these parameters are not measured, everything becomes “guesswork”. And managing a landfill based on assumptions is risky: <\/p>\n
\n- Late response to problems,<\/li>\n
- It is not known exactly what is going on,<\/li>\n
- The community’s trust is lost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
