Spice Warehouse Ozone Installation
Odor Control with Ozone

The system Ozone Solutions designed for Glendale Warehouse is a perfect example of an ozone system achieving success in odor abatement and improving a customer's bottom line.

The Problem

• Spice Warehouse stores, packages, and distributes spices and other products
• The spice products emanate an extremely offensive odor to the residential and industrial development located up to one block from the facility.
• Warehouse is 230,000 square feet.
• Ventilation of the facility is necessary to keep the indoor air quality acceptable.
• All vented air carries an offensive odor to the local area outside the warehouse.
• The local area is filled with other industries, housing developments, and busy roadways.
• Complaints were coming from the local community about the odor problem.
• The county health department was levying large fines against the warehouse for the odor.

Ozone Solutions Used

• Ozone gas was used within the building at low levels to maintain an odor free environment.
• Low ozone levels (0.05 - 0.1 PPM) were maintained in the building at all times.
• The building was made up of five individual rooms.
• Ozone was applied to the four main areas. The last area was a sealed cooler and was not a contributor to the odor issues
• The ozonated areas were as follows:
  1. 33,000 ft²
  2. 45,000 ft²
  3. 60,000 ft²
  4. 80,000 ft²
• Four regulated ozone outputs were used to control the ozone level in each room.
• Four additional ozone outputs were used to inject unregulated ozone flow into the exhaust stacks.
• Any unused ozone flow for the rooms was diverted into the exhaust stacks. The ozone system operated at 100% capacity at all times.
• All ozone equipment, including the air compressor, was placed on one skid for simple operation and installation.

Results

• After the ozone system was implemented the odor directly next to the building was almost completely eliminated.
• The county health department praised the spice warehouse for the amazing difference in odor emissions.
• Due to the improved air quality inside the warehouse, the vent fans could be slowed down to recirculate less air.
• Air quality inside the warehouse improved creating a better work environment for the employees.
• Fines and odor complaints were completely eliminated after installation of the ozone system.
