▣ A lift station is a pumping facility used to move wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher elevation within a sewer collection system. Lift stations are installed in locations where the natural terrain does not provide sufficient elevation for gravity flow, or where relying on gravity conveyance would require prohibitively expensive excavation and deep pipeline installation.

▣ Lift stations are critical components of municipal and industrial wastewater collection systems — keeping sewage moving efficiently through the network regardless of terrain. However, the turbulent wastewater movement inside lift stations generates high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S), VOCs, and other odor-causing compounds that escape through vent pipes — creating foul odors, accelerating corrosion, and generating complaints from surrounding communities.

▣ Controlling the odorous gases released from lift station vents is essential to protecting infrastructure, maintaining safe working conditions, and keeping the communities around your facility free from sewer gas complaints.

▣ As odorous gases are forced out of the lift station vent, they pass through the high-capacity activated carbon contained inside the JOS Lift Station Vent Attachment. The carbon media is securely enclosed in breathable material, allowing maximum airflow through the carbon while keeping installation and removal completely clean and hassle-free.

▣ As the odorous air passes through the carbon media, hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) molecules adhere to the carbon surface and are absorbed through a process called adsorption. As the H2S molecules bond with the carbon, they are effectively and permanently neutralized — eliminating foul odors at the source rather than simply masking them.

▣ The JOS Lift Station Vent Attachment installs and removes in under a minute with no special tools and no mess — giving your field crew a fast, reliable odor control solution that keeps lift station vents under control and surrounding communities free from sewer gas complaints.
