Statistical prediction models for the odour emissions quantification in terms of odour concentration: Analysis and comparison

(Corresponding) Galang M., Ballesteros Jr. F., Zarra T., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Measuring odour concentration is a significant step to achieve efficient environmental odour management in continuous, objective and repeatable manner. To deal with this, researchers developed instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) by applying odour monitoring models (OMM) for prediction. At...Read more

ADVANCED INSTRUMENTAL ODOUR MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ODOUR CONTINUOUS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL IN COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

(Corresponding) Meloni M., Zarra T., Pittoni G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour emissions from complex industrial plants can cause potential impacts on the surrounding areas and, as consequence, complaints with the local residents. The identification of specific Odour control plan is therefore needed in the plant management. The current challenge is the definition of...Read more

Comparison of sensory odour intensity scales for inexperienced assessors

(Corresponding) Higuchi T., Sekine M., Imai T.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odours discharged from various human activities may cause severe damage to local residents. For appropriate evaluation of environmental odours, it is necessary to develop a reliable odour measurement scale. Since environmental odours consist of many different odorous compounds, comprehensive...Read more

Odorous gases monitoring on industrial sites and algae decomposition using Cairsens smart sensors

(Corresponding) BEN DAOUD A., Laplagne J., AKIKI R., AFLALO S. S.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
The appearance of natural odors sources (Sargassum beaching events) or odors generated by the human activity (integration of industrial sites in increasing urban environment and residential encroachment into previously non-resident areas) represent a major challenge for municipalities. Combined...Read more

Co-creating data based on human nose perceptions to study odour nuisance from an oilseed industry

(Corresponding) Teixeira S., Pereira P., Ferreira F.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour nuisance is the second environmental problem with more citizen complaints after noise. This fact and the lack of odour regulation in Portugal led way to develop a bottom-up approach focused on citizens to co-create the analysis. Despite the existence of odour measuring instruments, the human...Read more

Removal of gaseous ammonia released from odorous composting leachate employing carbonaceous adsorbents prepared from agro-industrial wastes

PERDIGÃO-LIMA T., Feliciano M., Pereira Wilken A., Gomes H., Shinibekova A., Kalmakhanova M., Massalimova B., (Corresponding) Diaz de Tuesta J.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Biological and composting processes used in the treatment of municipal solid waste typically are sources of odour pollution (gaseous pollutants include SO2, NH3, H2S and other toxic air pollutants). In this work, the removal of NH3 present in odorous composting leachate was assessed for the first...Read more

Anaerobic biodesulfurization in different inoculums

Stylianou M., Samanides C., Vyrides I., (Corresponding) Agapiou A.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Sulfur compounds in liquid fuel are undesirable and the level of these compounds in diesel fuel is strictly regulated in the last 15 years by the European Union. These stringent regulations are imposing an urgent requirement for fuel terminals to produce fuels having ultra-low sulfur content. A...Read more

Ground based integrated path differential absorption sensor for remote sensing of CO2, CH4 and H2O atmospheric greenhouse gases

(Corresponding) Panagiotis S., Psyllakis G., Samartzis P., Velegrakis M.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
An autonomous, ground-based, integrated path, differential absorption light detection (IPDA) system is presented, capable of measuring multiple gases concentration in the atmosphere. The device was developed to monitor small scale locations with high greenhouse gases emissions and is equipped with...Read more

INTEGRATED MONITORING SYSTEM BASED ON CITIZEN SCIENCE APPROACH FOR THE PROACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ODOURS EMISSIONS

(Corresponding) Oliva G., Zarra T., Senatore V., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odours emitted from industrial and environmental protection plants have been included among atmospheric pollutants as they are cause of annoyance for the exposed residents. The control of the odour emissions is therefore a key aspect to pursue. The research presents and discusses the development of...Read more

Low temperature conversion of methanol to higher hydrocarbons and hydrogen using a non-thermal plasma

(Corresponding) Dahiru U., Zhang K., Harvey A.
Topic: 
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
In recent years, the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from chemical manufacturing plants, agricultural practises, and indoor sources has attracted public concern, as these emissions have a negative effect on both human health and the environment. VOCs are precursor for the formation of...Read more
