Loading Dock Odor Control For Commercial Buildings
Loading docks attract every odor source in the building: diesel idle, compactor leachate, food waste, and HVAC exhaust. They also feed corridor air pulled in when bay doors open.
Stop the bleed into corridors
Brush seals at bay doors and an air curtain at the personnel door prevent dock air from migrating into the lobby.
Continuous misting on the dock face
A perimeter mister releases encapsulant during waste handling cycles, neutralizing odors as they form.
Schedule waste pickups for off-peak hours
Pickups during HVAC peak draw move the most odor inside. Schedule for early morning before AHUs ramp up.
