Simulation optimization of the key design parameters of the deodorization system in municipal solid waste transfer station

Environmental problems and excessive energy consumption are the primary bottleneck of the transfer station project, owing that the deodorant design are generally based on the empirical values. Therefore, scientific researches on the parameters of deodorization design is of great importance. This article systematically investigated the influence of several key parameters on the deodorizing effect, by combining typical practical engineering cases, taking ammonia as a representative of the transfer station odor components. The key designing parameter values have been optimized via the Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation through Airpak3.0 software, including the suction air volume, the ratio of the air exhaust to the supply volume, the position of air supply outlet, and the air volume control in different seasons/highs period. It is expected that this study would provide strong technical support for engineering design and energy saving operation.
