Abstract
The use of an appropriate operational management tool plays a fundamental role in establishing and defining the normal operational parameters during any process. If this process also entails a high potential for odor generation or specific gaseous compounds, either due to a specific process condition or deviations from the process, it becomes even more relevant as operational control management. Hence, a detailed knowledge of the processes and levels of odorant gases present must be evaluated based on reliability and accuracy.
This article is based on experience, during the development of a project carried out in a liquid industrial waste treatment plant, and what has been learnt remains current and updated know-how.
This experience relates to how gas monitoring equipment was adapted by correct dilution selection to quantify the concentration of different emitted odorant gases and how to ensure an accurate quantification.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ozone technology. In this case study, an ozone unit was inserted after a chemical scrubber. Odour samples were taken before the scrubbing, after the scrubber (and before the ozone unit), and after the whole set of abatement. Very high efficiencies were found.
Odour generation is an inherent side product of waste water storage and treatment. Encroachment of developments in the proximity of sewage treatment works increases the risk of adverse odour impact on receptors.
