Odor Control Pipe Velocities
Odor Control Pipe Velocities
(OP)
Hello All:
I am trying to size some piping for an odor control system to be installed at a wastewater treatent plant. In trying to size the odor collection pipes (i.e.duct work) I turned to Metcalf and Eddy for some guidance on pipe sizing and velocity constraints. Although M&E provides some guidance in regards to air pipe sizing and max/min allowable velocities, the discussion in the book seems to be specifically geared towards aeration systems so I'm not sure if it really applies to what I'm doing.
Does any one know of any standards pertaining to odor control system design?

RE: Odor Control Pipe Velocities
The ACGIH Industrial Ventilation handbook (22nd edition) recommends a velocity of
1000-2000 fpm.
If heavy particle loading is present, it would be a consideration for higher duct velocities. Otherwise, the maximum velocity of 2000 fpm. Higher velocity will also increase the noise.
