Cold Plasma / Hydroxyl Odor Control for Commercial Scale Marijuana Greenhouses

There are a number of odor control options for the vented air from smaller Marijuana greenhouse operations, however when one gets to a commercial scale it is a good idea to consider odor control methods generally suited for industrial facilities which have similar, large volumes of odorous air that needs to be neutralized.

Cold Plasma is a scalable technology that uses a modest amount of electricity to convert odorous compounds into non-odorous forms through a process known as oxidation. A Cold Plasma field is created when high voltage and medium frequency is applied to electrodes that have an air gap which causes micro electrical arcs to form in the air gap. This electrical, micro-arc activity causes a wide range of very reactive compounds to form known as Reactive Oxygen Species, of which hydroxyls (OH, +OH, HO2) and other gas phase, ionized oxidative species are formed. When these reactive compounds are...
