Greenwood Mushroom Farm Odor Control System and Results Envron co-operated with the Canadian Mushroom Growers Association, the Canadian Federal Government, Provincial Government and Greenwood Mushroom Farm on a full-scale mushroom bunker composting odor control project at Greenwood Mushroom farm. This work was based on earlier work conducted with the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture that showed positive odor control with Ozone and mushroom compost. The installation of the odor control system resulted in the settlement of a $10 million lawsuit launched over the odors from the farm. At this time, Greenwood is expanding the Ozone system to several more bunkers. The Greenwood odor control equipment is integrated into the composting bunkers using a ventilation system. When compost is present in the bunker, the Ozone system is operated in conjunction with the blowers located in the bunker floor. The ventilation system draws air from the bunker and Ozone is pumped into the exhaust through a mixing/retention system. The mixing/retention system is designed to provide maximum mixing of the compost exhaust and Ozone so that both gases are thoroughly entrained. The Ozone/exhaust mixture must pass through a three-phase mixing/destruct process. Results A study was commissioned by the Canadian Mushroom Growers Association using a consulting firm. When the Ozone system is not engaged, the full composting odor is noticed coming through the stack. When the Ozone system is engaged, the stack has a noticeable Ozone smell which indicates the odors have been eliminated. The report concludes: “Overall, the ozonation system installed at Greenwood Mushroom Farm can control the emission of odour compounds. “ These results are confirmed in the work done by the University of Britsh Columbia which measured the output from a Surrey, B.C. mushroom composting facility. This system treated gases coming from a composting stack. In this case, a full-blown odor control panel was assembled. There was a residual Ozone smell coming from the destruct stack when tests were conducted. The results of that study with the odor panel showed that the untreated samples required dilution rates of between 1701-3043, which is typical of odorous substances. The Ozone treated samples dilution rates were between 209-264, which is typical of non-odorous substances. As well, the treated samples actually smelled like Ozone which has an almost antiseptic or sanitary smell. When Envron initially designed the system, the objective was to provide a quantified amount of mixing time at maximum exhaust flow levels and to achieve a residual concentration of Ozone. The residual Ozone concentration indicates that the entrainment of the gases is complete and that not all the Ozone has been used up in the mixing/destruct process. This indicates that the Ozone will continue to react with the exhaust flow and provide further oxidation as the dilution of the gases continues.
