STP odour problems: common causes and operating checks

Persistent odour can indicate septic conditions, poor aeration, sludge accumulation or housekeeping problems in a sewage-treatment system.

STP odour problems: common causes and operating checks
In this guide

This article explains the treatment objective, the design information that matters and the operating checks that help keep the system practical after installation.

Check oxygen and mixing

Biological treatment needs appropriate aeration and mixing for the selected process. Dead zones or failed blowers can quickly change conditions.

Review sludge age and removal

Excess solids or long retention in poorly aerated zones can contribute to odour. Sludge wasting and return flows should follow the process design.

Control the source

Grease, unusual chemical discharge or shock loads can upset the process. Good upstream practices can reduce operating problems.
