■Odor Control Case Study■ Odor Control in Aluminum Casting (Core and Low-Pressure Casting Machine) (Japan)
Odor control consultation
For odor control in casting processes and foundries, odor control consultation and deodorizing equipment using microgel deodorants are recommended.
The main sources of odors in the casting process are the odors from cores and low-pressure casting machines. ★Key Points of Odor Control Measures★ 1. Odor Components: Phenols, aldehyde-type odors (exhaust odors from the casting process) 2. Gas Characteristics: High humidity, presence of dust (smoke) 3. Odors have spread to a wide residential area 4. Since exhaust is being released from multiple ventilation fans rather than local exhaust, it is unclear where to implement measures 5. Desire to keep costs as low as possible In foundries, phenolic and aldehyde-type odors are generated along with smoke from the molds during the casting process. Complaints regarding these odor substances have arisen at a certain foundry. However, due to the large size of the factory building and the leakage of odors from multiple ventilation outlets rather than local exhaust, there was a request for consultation on how to address the issue. In considering countermeasures, we first conducted an odor control consultation to visualize the overall odor generation situation in the factory and the diffusion situation to the surrounding area. ★Flow of Odor Control Measures Hearing → Odor Control Consultation → Determination of Priorities for Odor Control Measures → Introduction Test of Deodorization Equipment (Deodorant Spray Device) → Introduction of Deodorization Equipment (Deodorant Spray Device) → Resolution of Complaints

basic information
●Step 1: Odor Control Consultation During the odor control consultation, we investigated the factory and its surroundings to confirm the current odor generation and dispersion situation. As a result, it was found that odors generated in the factory were dispersing up to approximately 600 meters away. Additionally, since the current method of odor emission was through ventilation fans and leaks from windows and doors of the building, it was determined that implementing deodorizing equipment for exhaust was difficult. Therefore, we considered methods to reduce the overall odor level within the factory. ●Step 2: Introduction of Deodorizing Equipment We installed fans with space spray nozzles near processes where odors are likely to occur, implementing a method to spray deodorants into the factory space. To ensure that the spray mist does not reach the ground, we selected a fine mist produced by a two-fluid nozzle. Additionally, by controlling the system to spray automatically only during operation, we were able to reduce running costs. This method successfully reduced odors throughout the building and minimized the dispersion distance of the odors. Furthermore, since we also achieved a cooling effect within the factory, our customers were very satisfied. ●Model Used: Deodorant Microgel C-TK Microgel C-TK is used as a countermeasure against phenolic odors.

Detailed information
-
Exhaust from the rooftop of the foundry The foundry has many exhaust outlets on the roof of the building. Since it is difficult to attach deodorizing spray nozzles to each one, in such cases, odor control measures are implemented collectively within the facility.
-
Deodorization device (deodorant spray device) In foundries, odor control measures are often implemented within the facility, so deodorization devices for spraying may be installed inside, as shown in the photo.
-
Odor concentration after deodorization It shows how the odor concentration changed before and after the introduction of the deodorization equipment. Generally, it can be seen that an odor removal efficiency of around 70% has been achieved.
