ODOR-X Information
Odor-X, a product specifically designed to combat odors, was introduced as a potential solution to the town’s odor problem. During the January 5, 2025, Council Meeting, residents requested that the product’s label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) be made publicly available, allowing interested parties to review the product before use. It is important to note that while Odor-X addresses the odor, it does not eliminate the underlying gas. Therefore, its use will not replace air monitoring or the development of long-term solutions to the issue. Odor-X is intended to serve as a temporary measure to reduce the pervasive odor, which has been particularly noticeable in recent days.
Please be advised that Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has granted approval for this product and its application in the landfill operations.
Product Label Information: (See pdf attachments below)
Odor-X is an all-natural, bio-catalytic odor suppressant and waste reducer for use with livestock, barns, manure pits, lagoons, septic tanks, and sewage treatment facilities.
Mode of action: Odor-X stimulates the microorganisms that break down odor causing compounds, such as sulphides, mercaptans, sulphur dioxide, aidehydes, amines, and ammonia, which are synthesized generally by anaerobic environments. The results are improved odor, promotion of aerobic waste reduction, better animal health, reduced fly and pest infestation, and an acceleration in the breakdown of manure and other organic materials.
Contents: bio-catalytic concentrate, anionic surfactant, activated carbon, and lignin.
Safety instructions: Odor-X is environmentally safe and non-toxic to people, animals, plants, soils, and surface and ground water.
What is ODOR-X?
ODOR-X is an all-natural, bio-catalytic odor suppressant and waste reducer. It is designed to reduce odors and aid in the breakdown of odor-causing waste compounds such as sulphides, mercaptans, sulphur dioxide, aldehydes, amines and phenols.
How does ODOR-X work?
ODOR-X attacks the root source of odors. It quickly and effectively targets odor causing compounds that result from the anaerobic activities of the micro-organisms which break down organic compounds in the absence of oxygen. ODOR-X stimulates the microbes that break down these compounds and provides them with the necessary environment to virtually explode into action and thus reduce waste and odor in the process. ODOR-X begins to work within hours and will continue the metabolic stimulation of these beneficial microbes for several weeks, at which time it should be re-applied.
