Air Ionization: Reality vs. Myth #2 - Maintenance
During another of my recent presentations of the Aerisa air purification technology, aclient asked, "O&M associated with air ionization seems much more straight-forward thancompeting technologies--Would you please provide some detail?"
Most utility personnel and their engineers are wisely investigating the 20-year life cycle costs ofcapital equipment. Low initial cost for wastewater equipment most always means increasedO&M expenditure and higher overall costs. Air ionization for odor control applications has a number of advantages, one being low O&Mcosts as compared to other technology, to include wet scrubbing, biofiltration, carbonadsorption, and photoionization (or photocatalytic oxidation, PCO).
Air ionization involves:
No Chemicals (Wet Scrubbing)No Nutrients (Biofiltration)No Water (Biofiltration, Wet Scrubbing)No Spent Media Replacement (Carbon Adsorption, Biofiltration, PCO)No Spent Media Disposal (Carbon Adsorption, Biofiltration, PCO)No Numerous UV Bulb Replacement (PCO)No Low pH Liquid Disposal (Wet Scrubbing, PCO)No Freeze-Protection Problems (Biofiltration, Wet Scrubbing)No Problems With Intermittent Operation (Biofiltration)

With air ionization, one Aerisa ionizer module effectivelytreats 500 to 1000 CFM for wastewater odor controlapplications, but requires only 50 watts of power. Sinceionization systems utilize the facility volume as a reactionchamber instead of using a tank as with most exhaust-onlyscrubbers, pressure drop is low, and the resulting fan powerrequirement is 75 to 80% less than traditional solutions. System maintenance is relatively minimal; in general,quarterly air handler filter replacement and yearly ionizationtube replacement are only required. Ionization tubes arerelatively inexpensive and their replacement should take only15 minutes for a 5-tube Aerisa 5550 unit. The following table provides a 20-year present worth comparison between Aerisa ionizationtechnology, carbon adsorption and wet scrubbing. You'll see the compelling advantage of airionization--64% to 76% less O&M costs.

I trust the above provides clarity regarding the vast O&M differences between Aerisa's airionization system versus that of competing technology.
Aerisa will continue to lead the air ionization industry through successful installations as well asconveying truthful information about our technology.
