Simply stated odor is a sensory perception of oderant molecules dissolved in the air that is breathed. Odors are normally the result of volatized organic (e.g. fatty acids, amines) or inorganic (e.g. hydrogen sulphide or ammonia) compounds in a gaseous state. Even at very low concentrations, such compounds which are released or escape into the local environment can cause odor issues.
Many substances in the environment can produce odors. You typically smell these odors when you are outdoors and sometimes when you are indoors with your windows open. You may smell and react to certain chemicals in the air before they are at harmful levels. Those odors can become a nuisance and bother people, causing temporary symptoms such as headache and nausea. Other odors can be toxic and cause harmful health effects.

VALENS products are uniquely positioned to offer municipal odor control solutions, because of its effectiveness removing a broad spectrum of odors. From beginning to end, product to equipment, VALENS can tailor a complete odor control system for waste management in any community. Our products are designed to have dual action (gaseous and substrate) and begin working in minutes, reacting bio-chemically with odor-causing molecules, breaking down volatile organic compounds upon contact into their final inert (and smell-free) compounds.

VALENS technology rapidly reduces odors and a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including ammonia and hydrogen sulfide.
