Aluminum Covers: Sustainable Odor Control Covers for Wastewater Treatment
Covering wastewater treatment basins brings increased health to the community and contains the odors that wastewater treatment facilities can emit. Covering large treatment basins with aluminum covers contributes many sustainability factors, including cleaner air and use of recycled materials. This course discusses why covers are so important for wastewater treatment facilities and why aluminum is the preferred material for those covers.
