We provide odour impact studies, from the odour emission estimate to the numerical simulation at the most exposed sensitive receptors, by identifying the most relevant sources and simulating the efficiency of odour abatement techniques.
Our studies have been applied in many different situations, following the most recent guidelines, such as solid waste treatment and composting facilities, biogas and biomethane production, wastewater treatment plants.
This document is the result of a collective work by an international team of experts, with the contribution of Simularia. The Handbook is freely downloadable from Zenodo.
Odour dispersion in the atmosphere
Numerical simulations of the transport and dispersion of odours emitted by stacks or fugitive sources, active or passive area and volume sources, by means of puff, lagrangian or gaussian models, in simple contexts.
Odour impact assessment
From the estimate of emission sources, on the basis of on field measurements or data from the literature, to the assessment of peak olfactory disturbance at sensitive receptors according to the most recent guide lines.
