Rendering plants require a comprehensive odour control system to ensure they meet regulatory requirements. A Rendertech Odour Control System captures odorous streams at their source and removes them for treatment. Our design engineers consider the full odour control system and, as necessary, will supply correctly sized ducting, fans, condensers and evaporative cooling towers, as well as humidifiers and biofilters.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Be a good neighbour
Treating odourous streams before discharge to atmosphere minimises environmental impacts due to
odour.
Improved working environment
A rendering plant with a well designed and operating odour control system will
provide a healthy working environment for your staff.
Natural treatment
Biofilters use naturally occurring micro-organisms living on organic matter (such as bark)
to oxidise odourous compounds. Biofilters can be sized for treatment of any volume of air and are a very cost-effective method of odour
removal. All leachate from the Biofilters is captured for treatment.
Pretreatment
It is very important to pre-treat odour before it enters the Biofilter. Cooling the airstream
removes volatiles and ensures the Biofilter does not overheat. When treating building ventilation air, the air must be humidified to
prevent the Biofilter from drying out.
Purpose-designed
Each rendering plant is different and requires a different odour control system. We will
design and specify each aspect of the odour control system to ensure you have an odour-free solution and that your plant is compliant
with best environmental practice.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Collect vapours at source
A Rendertech ‘point sources’ collection system will collect vapours
directly from each
item of plant. These hot and moist vapours are cooled in a Waste Heat Condenser to remove heat and volatiles before they are ducted to a
Biofilter for final treatment.
Regular air changes
Regularly changing the air inside the building keeps temperatures down and prevents
fugitive emissions. Rendertech can design a system to discharge this ventilation air directly to atmosphere or treat it in a Rendertech
Biofilter following humidification.
Biofilter
A Rendertech Biofilter complete with gas distribution and leachate collection system removes
95–99% of the odorous vapours.

'When we started a new product line in fish meal, we found our existing processing plant wasn’t fit for purpose. We needed a process streamlined for fish to achieve a high-end product. Rendertech had the experience and expertise to achieve the quality we were after, with good equipment design. They could also manufacture and install the plant quicker than anyone else, so our plant had the shortest downtime possible. We’ve achieved all-round plant performance, with a high-quality fish meal, energy savings, and speed – we’ve increased from 2.5 tonnes an hour to 9.5 tonnes an hour with the new Rendertech plant, and reduced energy costs by 40%.'
We look forward to hearing from you!
