How To Eliminate Odors in Lift Stations or Sump Pumps with State
Lift stations and sump pumps are essential components of wastewater management, but without proper maintenance, they can produce strong, unpleasant odors that spread throughout a facility. These odors can create a negative impression on visitors and customers, making it crucial to find an effective solution.
State Chemical provides a range of floating degreasers and deodorizers designed to cap off odors and break down grease buildup in lift stations. In this article, we’ll explore some of the top solutions that can help keep your facility smelling fresh and welcoming.
Why Lift Station Odors Are a Problem
Wastewater odors can be incredibly powerful, seeping into different areas of a facility and creating an unappealing environment. Foul smells, such as those from waste, can trigger negative responses from customers, tenants, or employees. For businesses like apartment buildings, hotels, and hospitals, maintaining a clean and odor-free space is essential to creating a positive impression.
Top Floating Degreasers and Deodorizers
Blanket 510 Wintergreen
Blanket 510 Wintergreen is an easy-to-use floating air freshener that works by sealing odors beneath its surface. With its strong wintergreen scent, this product is ideal for pit toilets, portable restrooms, hospitals, high-rise apartments, and other facilities where strong waste odors are a concern. While it is not the most effective degreaser, it is an economical and long-lasting solution to odor problems, allowing staff to focus on more important tasks.
Cherry Float
If you need a product that not only controls odors but also tackles the buildup of fats, oils, and greases, Cherry Float is a great option. This biodegradable drain maintainer floats on the surface of a lift station, trapping foul odors below while emitting a pleasant cherry fragrance. It is an excellent choice for facilities dealing with both odor and grease problems, ensuring a fresh-smelling environment while breaking down grease deposits.
Orange Buoy
For lift stations struggling with both strong odors and significant grease buildup, Orange Buoy is the top solution. This product contains a high concentration of orange oil, which effectively emulsifies grease on lift station walls while keeping odors sealed below its surface. While Orange Buoy is a premium option, its superior performance ensures that your facility remains free of unpleasant smells. Additionally, it leaves behind a pleasant orange fragrance that enhances the overall environment.
Orange Buoy Select
If you’re looking for a more cost-effective alternative to Orange Buoy, consider Orange Buoy Select. This product contains a lower concentration of orange oil, making it a budget-friendly option that still effectively controls odors and helps break down grease buildup. It provides a balance between performance and affordability for facilities that need a solution but want to reduce costs.
