Abstract
During 2018, Chile began to generate quality standards for offensive odors. The priority of the authority was defined by type of activity and the historical number of complaints per year raised by citizens for every type of industry. From the analysis, five industries were selected for the first stage, among which the Chilean Kraft pulp industry was part of, activity representing approximately 2% of world production.
Facing complaints, the lack of development planning and land use, the absence of quality standards the null international and bibliographic experience of how to proceed with odor management in this type of industry contributed to creating the necessary need to generate online, integrated, prompt response tools that could allow the odor impact to be managed efficiently in real time.
The challenge involved the research and development of tools, systems and softwares for the operational control of odors in the industry, aimed at providing an early warning of the risk of possible incidents, as well as automatizing odor mitigation systems to reduce and prevent impacts in case of odor events, allowing an adequate management of odor control, improving neighbours quality of life and resulting in sustainable growth of production while keeping expenses on budget.
