Abstract

An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors includes about 12.5% adipic acid, about 70% alcohol, about 0.5% eucalyptus oil, and the remainder water. A variation of the product for use in an atomization system includes about 12.5% adipic acid, about 9% alcohol, about 17% vegetable oil, about 0.5% eucalyptus oil, and the remainder water. An associated method of treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors includes the steps of preparing a solution of about 12.5% adipic acid, about 70% alcohol, about 0.5% eucalyptus oil, and the remainder water; and introducing the solution to the waste.

Claims

1. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors, including:

about 10-15% adipic acid;

about 65-75% alcohol, wherein the alcohol (i) allows said adipic acid to enter into suspension in the presence of water, (ii) has disinfectant properties, and (iii) has antifreeze properties to inhibit said product from freezing;

an oil ingredient selected from the group consisting of about 15-20% vegetable oil, 0.1-2% eucalyptus oil, and mixtures thereof; and

water.

2. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 1, wherein said eucalyptus oil is present in the product.

4. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 2, wherein the product includes about 12.5% adipic acid, about 70% said alcohol, about 0.5% eucalyptus oil, and the remainder water.

5. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 1, wherein the water is distilled.

6. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 1, wherein the water is de-ionized.

7. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 2, wherein the product includes about 10-15% adipic acid, about 65-75% said alcohol, about 0.25-2% eucalyptus oil, and the remainder water.

8. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 1, wherein said vegetable oil is present in the product.

9. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 8, wherein the vegetable oil is corn oil.

10. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 8, further including eucalyptus oil.

11. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 8, wherein the odor control product is filtered after blending to remove particles larger than approximately one micron in size.

12. An odor control product for treating digestible and odiferous organic waste to minimize odors as set forth in claim 1, wherein said alcohol is ethanol.
