GV DRUM SCRUBBER (GVDS)
Ideal for removal of odorous gases found at pump stations
GVDS-Product Overview
The GV Drum Scrubber (GVDS) is an odor control system designed to remove odorous gases from wastewater collection and treatment facilities. It is suitable for applications such as pump stations, lift stations, wet wells, force mains and wastewater treatment plants. The GVDS product range is available in different airflow capacities to suit varying application requirements.
Available Airflow Models
| Model | Rated Airflow Capacity |
|---|---|
| GVDS-300 | Up to 300 CFM |
| GVDS-500 | Up to 500 CFM |
| GVDS-1000 | Up to 1,000 CFM |
Odor Treatment Media
The GVDS uses layered odor-treatment media to provide broad-spectrum removal of sewage odors and target gases, including hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), ammonia and mercaptans. Media performance and service life depend on the inlet gas composition, concentration, humidity, airflow and operating conditions. The media should be inspected periodically and replaced when exhausted to help prevent odor breakthrough.
Blower
The GVDS system is supplied with a blower assembly designed for the required airflow and operating conditions. The blower assembly is constructed using corrosion-resistant materials and is provided with an industrial-duty motor. Blower selection and motor specifications are based on the selected model and project requirements.
Differential Pressure Monitoring
A differential pressure gauge or switch is provided to monitor the pressure drop across the media bed. This helps the operator assess system operating conditions and identify when inspection or maintenance may be required.
Control Panel
A control panel is provided for the operation and control of the odor control unit. Terminals can be provided for remote monitoring of the unit, where required. Electrical supply and control specifications are to be confirmed in accordance with the project requirements.
