Abstract

This study presents two odour impact assessment methodologies for a new waste management plant. The Online Field Inspection Manager (OFIM) has been used to establish the zero-situation according to the VDI/DIN3940. At the same time, the odour impact was also modelled using Calpuff dispersion modelling.

The course took place  the 22-25 October 2013 in Madrid, Spain and it consisted of a CALPUFF part developed along the first 3 days and an ODOUR part in the last day.

    In the CALMET part, basic concepts such as the selection of the proper parameters TERRAD, RMAX1, RMAX2, R1, R2, BIAS and IEXTRP were widely discussed. In addition, the balance in the use of prognostic data (MM5, WRF, etc.) and observed data was commented.
