In 2017 complaints of offensive odors were presented in the domestic wastewater treatment plant in a Colombian municipality.

   In order to mitigate the generation of gases which are odor´s precursor and seeking to reduce the perception of odors in the surrounding community, TQI was responsible for complementing the wastewater biological treatment with the application of biocatalytic technologies.

   Dynamic olfactometry studies, based EN 13725 standard, have become the main tool for the assessment and control of odour emission from odorous processes. Neutralization has been widely used in many plants to try to decrease this impact.

   In the present study, different oxidizing agents for odour abatement were applied in a wastewater plant from an industrial process. Dynamic olfactometry have been used to assess the odour efficiency abatement rate of these agents.
