2. Measurement at source

On-site measurements at structures likely to emit odors are particularly useful for :

• diagnose, by taking stock of odor emissions, prioritizing the various sources of odors and qualifying the odors emitted by the site;

• check the olfactory abatement performance of deodorization systems already installed on site;

• check that discharges comply with current regulations;

• guide the technical improvements to be made to the structures;

• to model the olfactory impact of the site, by building up an initial database essential to the implementation of mathematical models to account for the dispersion of odors in the atmosphere.

Depending on the objectives to be achieved, these source...
