Operators of facilities that by their very nature, have the potential to release malodours into the environment and effect local receptors, can invest hundreds of thousands of pounds on elaborate odour abatement technology to address the issue.

Why then are odours still affecting those local receptors? Why are they under severe pressure from regulators?

With reference to case studies, this presentation will identify several factors, primarily relating to the effective capture of odour, that are often overlooked when designing an abatement solution. These include:

• Uncontrolled openings in buildings, including vehicle access doors – fugitive emissions
• Direct capture at odour sources
• Where can containment assist
• Inefficiencies of extract systems
• Innovative ventilation techniques to aid effective capture
