Continuous Optimization for Collection System Odor Control

Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD)
Orange County, California

This paper presents actions taken by the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) to
continually optimize its odor control program based upon liquid-phase dissolved sulfide
concentration, vapor phase hydrogen sulfide, vapor-phase odor and volatile organic compound
generation, and cost. Methods used to control costs include bulk chemical quality assurance and
quality control, market evaluations, flexible contracting techniques, price indexing, on-going
product comparison, and testing of new chemicals or chemical combinations. This paper will
present both the administrative measures and results of full-scale field tests.
