Overview on performance of water scrubber systems in reducing odour at raw natural rubber processing factories in Malaysia / Fatin Hamimi Alias

The upcoming Odour Regulation enforcement by the Department of Environment (DOE) sets an odour discharge limit at point of emission of not more than 25,000 ou/m3 at all times for all raw rubber processing factories. The major source of malodour is from the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs...
