OdorKnocker - Iron and Sulfur Soil Enhancement
Made from Recycled Material and may itself be recycled a second time! Our media is EPA and OSHA approved and can be used to add iron and sulfur to soil.
Our media is made with a ‘secret sauce’ which is baked onto wood chips and shavings. It is supplied for use with our insert and above ground units for H2S removal. The chips and shavings are carefully selected to give a range of particle sizes which give as much contact with the gas as possible in order to maximize the removal process. OdorKnocker™ Media weighs between 48-52lbs per cubic foot and is NON-HAZARDOUS in both the new and spent state as it does not absorb H2S. Instead, it is converted into non-toxic iron pyrite (SDS furnished on request).
It is shipped in 1.25 cubic foot bags which are plainly marked. It can be further recycled when changed out by spreading on flower beds, roads, gardens, etc. or hauling it to the dump.
The odor control media converts the H2S into iron pyrite, or fools gold. Under normal conditions, one cubic foot of media will convert 15 lbs. of H2S.
OdorKnocker Media functions best at an approximate moisture level of 40% (when squeezed by hand the material should clump but not drip). If the material is dry and flaky in your hand, or if the whole 1-bushel bag is substantially below 50lbs, re-hydrate the material using either of the following methods:
- Open both bags (the white OdorKnocker bag and the plastic shipping bag) and stand them on end. Then, simply pour 2 gallons of tap water directly onto the Odorknocker bag inside the plastic bag. Close the outer bag. The more time you can allow for this water to be absorbed, the better. If time allows, leave standing overnight, then drain.
OR
- Install the Media as instructed in the OdorKnocker Installation Instructions and slowly pour 2 gallons of water evenly over the Media before you put the manhole lid back in place.
If the Media is installed in a continuously moist environment, it will re-hydrate over time, but in dryer places it may be necessary to re-hydrate the Media manually if the H2S odor reoccurs within 3-6 months. To do this remove the manhole cover and slowly pour 2 gallons of water evenly over the Media.
