Clearing the Air: Solving Sewage Pumping Station Odour Problems for a Fresher & Healthier City

As urban areas continue to expand, the demand for efficient wastewater management systems grows with them. Sewage pumping stations are vital infrastructure elements that transport sewage from lower to higher elevations, making it possible to send wastewater to treatment facilities where gravity flow is not feasible. However, one of the most common — and often overlooked — challenges of sewage pumping stations is odour control.

Odours from sewage pumping stations are more than just an inconvenience. They are a significant environmental concern, a public health risk, and a factor that can negatively impact the social well-being of communities. In this blog, we will explore the causes of sewage pumping station odours, the challenges of managing them, technologies available for odour control, and how Elixir Enviro Systems is helping industries and municipalities solve these challenges sustainably.

1. Why is Odour Control Important in Sewage Pumping Stations?

Odour emissions are not just a public nuisance; they pose serious health and environmental risks:

Respiratory Irritation: Prolonged exposure to H₂S and ammonia can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat and may lead to more severe respiratory problems.

Corrosion of Infrastructure: Hydrogen sulfide can convert to sulfuric acid, corroding concrete structures and metal pipelines, leading to increased maintenance costs.

Environmental Degradation: Odour-causing gases contribute to atmospheric pollution and can have negative effects on nearby flora and fauna.

Community Complaints and Legal Issues: Persistent odour problems lead to public complaints, social unrest, and, in some cases, environmental regulatory penalties.

2. Why Sewage Pumping Stations Stinks?

Odour emission from sewage pumping stations happens because of the way they handle wastewater. Odour to become a problem, it must leave the wastewater and enter the air. This process, known as mass transfer, is driven by concentration differences—when there’s more of a compound in the water than in the air, nature pushes for balance, causing gases to be released. Ventilation and turbulence speed up this transfer, making the sewage pumping station prone to strong odors. While Henry’s Law predicts how much gas should be in the air, real-world factors like flow rates, temperature, and facility design create much more variability.

Let’s understand various factors contributing to odour emission from sewage pumping stations, drawing on various sources to ensure a thorough understanding.

2.1. Biological Sources of Odour

Odour in sewage pumping stations primarily arises from the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, leading to the production of hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). H₂S, known for its rotten egg smell, is generated by sulfate-reducing bacteria in conditions where oxygen is depleted, such as in stagnant sewage. This process is particularly pronounced in wet wells, where sewage accumulates before pumping, and in rising mains, where hydraulic residence time exceeds 6 hours. The decomposition is accelerated by warmer temperatures and stronger sewage, often seen during dry weather, which reduces dilution and increases organic content.

2.2. Design & Operational Factors in Pumping Stations

Sewage pumping stations are designed to collect and pump wastewater to treatment facilities, often against gravity, using wet wells and force mains. The wet well, where sewage is stored before pumping, is a critical area for odour production due to the potential for stagnation. When sewage sits for extended periods, anaerobic conditions develop, fostering H₂S production. The pumping action itself, involving turbulence, exacerbates odour emission by agitating the sewage and releasing trapped gases into the atmosphere.

The length of the force main, the pipe from the pump to the discharge, also influences odour. Longer force mains increase the residence time of sewage, allowing more time for anaerobic decomposition and H₂S production. Design guidelines for sewage works emphasize keeping force main lengths short to reduce dynamic head losses and odour production. This is particularly important at initial and design flows, where prolonged exposure can lead to significant gas buildup.

Trends in sewer system design, such as centralizing treatment and moving to separate sewer systems, can exacerbate H₂S problems. Centralization increases pumping distances, leading to more stagnant conditions and higher H₂S production, while separate systems lack rainwater dilution, increasing the risk of odour issues. These trends highlight the need for adaptive odour control strategies in modern wastewater management.

2.3. Trade Effluent Impact

An interesting factor is trade effluent—wastewater from industries—which can add odorous compounds, making the smell stronger, especially in dry weather when sewage is more concentrated. Trade effluent, may itself be odorous or increase the strength of the sewage, leading to enhanced odour generation. This is particularly relevant in urban areas where industrial discharges are common.

2.4. Maintenance Influences

Maintenance is another critical factor. Poorly maintained stations, with blockages or grease buildup, can lead to increased odour emissions. Similarly, control float switch problems can cause pumps to remain on, potentially agitating sewage excessively and releasing more gases. Regular maintenance, including clearing debris and ensuring proper operation, is essential to mitigate these issues, as advised in community guidance for living near pumping stations.

2.5. Environmental Influences

Environmental factors, such as temperature, play a role in odour intensity. Warmer seasonal temperatures increase odour generation, as bacterial activity accelerates. Additionally, the design of ventilation systems can affect how odours are dispersed. For instance, rooftop vents and mechanical ventilation are used to manage pressure and flow, but improper design can lead to odours reaching ground levels, especially under wind currents or temperature inversions.

3. What Causes the smell-Uncovering the Smelly Secrets!

Wastewater isn’t just water—it’s a complex mix of organic compounds, many of which have strong, unpleasant odours. As oxygen is depleted and anaerobic conditions take over, these odours intensify, creating a bigger challenge for treatment facilities.

3.1. The Rotten Egg Culprit: Hydrogen Sulfide

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is the main offender, notorious for its rotten egg smell. It forms when sulfate-reducing bacteria thrive in oxygen-starved conditions, often inside pipe biofilms and sludge layers. Factors like low oxygen, high organic content, and long retention times boost its production. Highly toxic at high levels, H₂S can be deadly, making its control a top priority.

3.2. The Stealthy Sulfur Compounds

Beyond H₂S, other sulfur-based compounds—mercaptans, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide—add to the stench. These compounds are even trickier because they don’t dissolve as easily in water. High-energy areas like junction chambers, mixing tanks, and dewatering processes release them in full force, making odour control a challenge.

3.3. The Ammonia Factor

While ammonia isn’t as pungent as sulfur compounds, it can still be a problem, especially in solids processing. Dewatering, lime stabilization, and composting can trigger ammonia emissions, sometimes mixed with fishy-smelling amines. Anaerobic digestion and high-temperature processes further intensify these odours.

3.4. The Hidden Odour Offenders

Odour isn’t just about sulfur and nitrogen. Wastewater also contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids, which contribute to its distinct, unpleasant scent. While not always the main culprits, they can make odour control even more complex.

Understanding these odour sources is key to managing them effectively.

4. Design Strategies to Minimize Odour Emissions from Sewage Pumping Stations

Effective design is paramount to minimizing odour emissions, and several strategies can be implemented based on engineering guidelines and best practices. The following sections outline these considerations

4.1. Location and Layout Considerations

The station’s location and layout can also influence odour impact:

Site Selection: Positioning the station away from residential areas to minimize community exposure, though this may not always be feasible.

Pipework Design: Minimizing bends and drops in pipework to reduce turbulence, which can release trapped gases. Avoiding long force mains is also advised, as they can increase retention time and odour production.

4.2. Minimizing Retention Time

One of the most effective ways to reduce odour is to minimize the time sewage spends in the pumping station, particularly in the wet well. This can be achieved through:

Proper Wet Well Sizing: Ensuring the wet well is appropriately sized to match inflow rates, preventing overflow and stagnation. For example, operating wet wells at lower levels can reduce detention times. The Ontario guidelines, recommend more frequent pumping for fill-and-draw stations and lowering level set-points for variable speed pump stations where odour is an issue.

Pump Capacity and Operation: Selecting pumps with sufficient capacity to handle inflows promptly and using variable frequency drives (VFDs) to match pumping rates with inflow, thus avoiding prolonged storage. This reduces the likelihood of anaerobic conditions developing, which is a major source of H₂S production.

4.3. Pump Selection and Operation

The type and operation of pumps can influence odour emissions:

Submersible Pumps: These are often preferred as they reduce turbulence and splashing compared to dry pit pumps, minimizing gas release. In other words, the pump selection should prioritize low turbulence.

Operational Practices: Ensuring pumps operate frequently to prevent stagnation, and designing for easy maintenance to allow routine cleaning, which reduces organic buildup and odour production.

4.4. Wet Well Design for Self-Cleaning and Maintenance

The wet well’s design can directly impact odour control:

Sloped Bottoms and Fillets: Incorporating sloped bottoms or fillets in rectangular channels and tanks to prevent sediment accumulation. This reduces ‘dead zones’ where solids can settle and foster anaerobic conditions.

Aeration Where Needed: Providing aeration to maintain solids in suspension where self-cleaning velocities cannot be achieved, though excessive aeration should be avoided to prevent increased turbulence and odour release.

Access for Cleaning: Ensuring easy access for routine hosing and debris removal, which helps maintain hygienic conditions and reduces odour production.

4.5. Liquid Phase Treatment – Chemical Dosing for Odour Prevention

Liquid side treatments focus on preventing odour formation in the wastewater itself, targeting the root cause by maintaining aerobic conditions or neutralizing odorous compounds. Chemical treatment can be integrated into the design to prevent odour-causing gas formation:

Oxidizing Agents: Adding substances like chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, or pure oxygen to oxidize sulphides and inhibit their production. The air injection can be successful for short to moderate force mains, though care must be taken to avoid air binding at high points.

Precipitants and pH Control: Using iron or zinc salts to precipitate sulphides or raising pH with sodium hydroxide to inhibit H₂S off-gassing. These measures are effective in localized areas but require careful consideration of impacts on solids handling, such as increased sludge production.

Electron Acceptors: Implementing sodium nitrate in sewers, which has advantages like slower consumption and non-hazardous properties.

Other Agents: Anthraquinone inhibits sulphate-reducing bacteria, effective for several days to six weeks, but limited by low solubility for force main applications. Caustic slug dosing with sodium hydroxide shifts sulphide equilibrium, inactivating the slime layer, effective for days to weeks but not for continuous addition.

4.6. Vapour Phase (Air side) Treatments for Odour Control

In the previous point we discussed the possibilities and options to avoid odour emissions to the gas phase. Generally, without a proper air treatment, it is hard to operate the pumping station, especially since the odour threshold of the compounds causing odour are very small making it detectable at very low concentrations. So, odour emission is unavoidable in most cases and therefore odour control equipment is absolute necessary. The Air side treatments focus on capturing and treating odorous air to prevent its release into the environment. The air side treatment includes Containments, Ventilation and Odour Control Units (OCUs).

4.6.1. Sealing and Containment

Preventing odours from escaping into the environment requires robust containment measures:

Airtight Covers: Designing covers for wet wells with minimal joints and using seals at all access points to contain gases. Corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or epoxy-coated aluminium, or FRP is preferred due to the corrosive nature of sulphides and sulfuric acid formed from H₂S.

Avoiding Condensate Points: Ensuring covers are designed to prevent condensate collection, which can exacerbate corrosion and odour release. This is particularly important for maintaining long-term structural integrity.

4.6.2. Ventilation Systems

Ventilation is critical for removing odorous air from the wet well. Design considerations include:

Forced Ventilation: Installing air extraction systems to remove odorous gases, maintaining a slight negative pressure to prevent fugitive odours and ensure that the air is treated before release.

Gravity (passive) Ventilation: Employs natural ventilation for low airflow applications, such as roof vents, to equalize pressure and control odour.

4.6.3. Odour Control Units (Technologies) for Sewage Pumping Stations

1. Biofilters & Biotrickling FIlters

Use microorganisms to biologically degrade odorous compounds in the air. They can remove 99.9% of H₂S, ammonia, and other odours. They perform best with stable airflow and are eco-friendly, requiring no chemicals and have low operating costs.

2. Activated Carbon Adsorption Units

Activated carbon units are compact and effective at adsorbing odour-causing gases, particularly VOCs and H₂S. These systems are suitable for locations where space is a constraint and where moderate odour loads are encountered. Regular carbon replacement is required based on load.

3. Chemical Wet Scrubbers

Wet scrubbers use chemical solutions based on the type of compounds to be removed from the air stream. Chemicals such as sodium hydroxide or chlorine-based compounds to neutralize hydrogen sulfide and acids to remove ammonia. Therefore, it is generally called Acid and Alkali Scrubbers and are suitable for high contaminant levels.

4. Thermal Oxidation

Burns odorous air at high temperatures, though less common for pumping stations due to energy costs.

5. Monitoring and Compliance

Effective odour control doesn’t end with treatment — continuous monitoring is key:

Portable H₂S Detectors: For on-the-spot odour monitoring.

Continuous Online Monitoring Systems: Enable real-time tracking of gas concentrations and air quality.

Olfactometry Surveys: Human sensory measurement of odour concentrations for community impact assessments.

Regulatory Compliance: Many environmental regulations specify acceptable odour levels and H₂S concentration limits that must be met.

Agricultural Tips

The Impact of Climate Change on African Agriculture: A Ricardian Approach

(World Bank, 2007)

Although predicting how much global warming will ultimately occur is difficult, the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report suggests that the increase in global mean temperatures over the next century could be between 1.4 and 5.8oC.3 Patterns of precipitation will also change, affecting the hydrological cycle. Sea levels will rise by 9cm to 88cm, mainly through the thermal expansion of the ocean. Although the precise extent of these changes and their consequences is subject to considerable scientific uncertainty, there is one issue on which there is broad agreement (e.g. Watson et al. 1997): developing countries are especially vulnerable to climate change because agricultural productivity depends on the climate. And in developing countries agriculture employs most of the workforce and is responsible for around a quarter of GDP (World Bank 2004).

💧 Nanomaterials: A Breakthrough Solution to the Global Water Crisis

By Hafiz Muhammad Husnain Azam Researcher, Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg 📘 Published 🔗 Read the Full Chapter on Elsevier

The Water Challenge: Scarcity, Pollution, and the Need for Innovation

Access to clean, safe water is a cornerstone of public health, food security, and sustainable development. Yet, traditional water treatment methods are increasingly unable to cope with the escalating levels of pollution, toxic waste, and water scarcity fueled by industrial growth and climate change.

In this urgent context, our latest publication investigates how novel nanomaterials are poised to revolutionize water treatment by offering advanced, efficient, and sustainable solutions to remove contaminants at the molecular level.

Why Nanomaterials?

Nanomaterials, characterized by their ultra-small size (1–100 nm), bring a paradigm shift to water purification. Their high surface area, reactivity, and customizability make them ideal candidates for targeted contaminant removal—from heavy metals like lead and arsenic to pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, and PFAS (forever chemicals).

🚀 Applications Explored in This Chapter:

Nanostructured Membranes: For desalination and ultrafiltration

Magnetic Nanoparticles: For rapid contaminant separation and recovery

Carbon Nanotubes & Graphene: For adsorption of complex organic pollutants

Silver & Gold Nanoparticles: For antimicrobial action and heavy metal binding

Photocatalytic Nanoparticles: For light-driven degradation of organic toxins

These technologies not only remove pollutants effectively but also reduce reliance on harmful chemicals, improving the environmental footprint of water treatment systems.

The Dual Edge: Innovation and Responsibility

While the potential is immense, responsible scaling is critical. Key concerns such as production cost, nanoparticle toxicity, and ecological safety require ongoing research and transparent regulation. Our study emphasizes a balanced approach, advocating for sustainable nanomaterial synthesis and lifecycle analysis in deployment.

The Future of Smart Water Solutions

The integration of nanomaterials into water treatment also opens doors to real-time water quality monitoring. With nano-enabled sensors, we can detect pollutants on-site and in real time—empowering communities and industries to respond faster and more accurately.

Call to Action

If you're working in environmental engineering, water infrastructure, policy, or nanotechnology, I invite you to explore this transformative research. Together, we can unlock safer, cleaner water for a growing global population and drive the transition to resilient, smart, and sustainable water systems.

The essence of being in the business of renewable energy is to be part of a sustainable development framework that works in harmony with the environment. Nevertheless, the development of any project requires a diligent and meticulous environmental social impact assessment before execution to identify any show-stoppers and a study to understand how the project will affect the environment and vice versa. SgurrEnergy is well aware and conversant on the environmental issues and offers solutions on a whole host of environmental matters. we are competent at providing long-term solutions, being able to foresee any potential environmental problems that may arise during the life-cycle of the project.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has laid down a set of eight Performance Standards (PS), and project developers need to comply with applicable PS while establishing the project in the event the project is financed by IFC or a multinational funding institution (ADB/WB, etc). Solar consultants play a vital role here in ensuring and reporting on compliance with these principles.
