The mobile atomiser offered by Odour and Dust Solutions (ODS) is a robust, self-contained spraying system designed for effective odour control and dust suppression at industrial, commercial, and environmental sites across the UK. These units are engineered to deliver a fine mist of liquid that captures airborne particles and carries odour-neutralising agents into the air, creating improved air quality and reducing complaints or regulatory risks.
How the Mobile Atomiser Works
At its core, the ODS mobile atomiser uses a fan-assisted, rotary atomiser head to break down liquids into very fine droplets (~40 microns). This fine droplet size is ideal for:
-
Maximising dispersion across large volumes of air,
-
Minimising wastage of water and chemical solutions,
-
Increasing the efficiency of dust and odour binding in the atmosphere.
The atomiser produces adjustable flow rates — from about 1 litre per minute up to 180 litres per hour — giving operators flexibility depending on site size, emission intensity, and treatment requirements.
Key Features of the ODS Mobile Atomiser
✔ Self-Contained Unit – Each system integrates its own bowser (typically 1100 litres) and spraying mechanism, making it ideal for sites without external services like mains water or permanent infrastructure.
✔ Mobility – Units are trailer-mounted (road or site trailer), allowing them to be towed and positioned wherever they’re needed on site with ease.
✔ Power Options – Machines can be driven by a diesel engine supplied by ODS or connected to a suitable mains electrical supply where available.
✔ Fine Droplet Spray – The 40 micron droplet size is specifically chosen to balance coverage with minimal wetting, crucial for both dust and odour control applications.
✔ Adjustable Flow – Operators can control spray volume to match treatment needs, reducing unnecessary chemical usage and optimising performance.
✔ Custom Design – ODS can manufacture bespoke atomiser machines tailored to specific operational requirements, whether for unique site constraints or particular odour/dust challenges.
Typical Applications
Mobile atomisers are commonly used for tackling odour and dust emissions in environments such as:
-
Wastewater treatment works
-
Composting and organic processing
-
Recycling and materials recovery facilities
-
Landfill and demolition sites
-
Quarries and aggregate handling
-
General remediation tasks where odour control is needed
In all these settings, the atomised mist helps to bind particulate matter and disperse odour-neutralising agents throughout the air column, helping to protect site workers, neighbours, and surrounding communities.
Why Mobile Atomisers Are Valuable
Mobile units provide a flexible, rapid-deployment solution for odour and dust problems — especially where emissions change location or intensity over time. Unlike fixed installations, they can be moved to hot spots, used on temporary worksites, or shared across different zones without the cost of permanent infrastructure.
Comparison With Other Systems
While static atomisers or high-pressure spray systems may be appropriate for fixed installations or very heavy suppression needs, mobile atomisers excel where mobility and rapid response are priorities. Their design focusses on broad mist coverage and ease of repositioning over rigid installation.
