Methane filters
Since the 1950s, biofilters have been used for odor control.
Methane is a colorless, odorless, and flammable gas. It is created when bacteria breaks down organic materials. Methane is the main component of marsh gas, firedamp of coal mines, as well as the gas our bodies and septic tanks produce. The odor associated with swamps, coal mines and even our bodies comes from the break down of organic material, not from methane. To prevent methane gas from entering your home, filters are available for purchase online. They are very effective and easy to install.
Sometimes septic gases will seep out around our home. They’re odor is very unpleasant, but you do not have to suffer from them. The gases are created in the septic tank when waste is naturally broken down. The treated material is then redistributed into the ground under the tank.
To prevent the sewage gases from backing into your home when you flush your toilet or put water down the drain, the gases exit through vent pipes to your roof. Usually, the gases are dispersed by the outside air. However, do to certain environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity, the gases may linger. Methane filters can aid in the elimination of these gases.
You can purchase methane filters online and easily attach them to the vents located on your roof. Some septic systems have vents on top the septic tank. You’ll find that methane filters fit just as easily on these vent pipes as well. These carbon-based filters absorb the methane and hydrogen sulfide gases as they exit the vents, ending the odorous gas smells as soon as they exit.
