Odor Control in Large Greenhouses

[FRANKIE1579]

Any pros have experience with this? The odor control system is for a 30X120 Ft greenhouse. It is in compliance with county and law enforcements criteria in this jurisdiction. However 100% odor control is a MUST.

System would need to be able to handle 50-60000 CFM at peak.

Does anyone have experience with industrial wet scrubbers?

Mounting 30 Large Carbon Filters would be a pain in the ass, block light, and in my experience still not work 100% effectively.

Ozone generators in my experience need time to do their work effectively. Containing 60000 CFM for several minutes is hard to do effectively.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

never seen wet scrubbers before, why do indoor growers use carbon instead of them?


alternative idea - dump a few tones of manure outside the greenhouse = canna smell gone/helped

The purpose of odor elimination is not to hide what is being grown, although that is helpful it is not essential. What is essential is minimal odor pollutants in the area as per zoning regulations. People are just as likely if not more to complain about the smell of manure mixed with cannabis as they are about just cannabis.

As far as I know, indoor growers use carbon because they are far cheaper. Wet scrubbers are for high volume, industrial applications. Based on my limited knowledge this far

Professional non criminal Odour Control work is done with Ozone, one of the UK posters, maybe Foomar, has done this as a job IIRC.

The secret with O3 is the mixing, to put it simply, you need a lung room type system to allow the O3 time to mix wiht the exhause air and oxidise all the polutants. As with all smells, height is your friend, what goes up a chimney is usualy going to stay up there.... Before Carbon Filters were available I used Chimneys, once beside a very famous landmark during a "World Cup" ... think about Hunters in high seats, Deer etc have no idea a man is 4m above them, when, if he was at ground level they would be miles away.

Get carbon scrubbers that roll around on wheels.I love my AllerAir scrubbers though they are pricey
