Odours are one of the most common sources of air pollution complaints and may be due to a wide variety of sources such as rotting vegetation, pulp and paper manufacturing, sewerage treatment facilities, refineries etc. The measurement of odours is extremely difficult due to the variety of sources of odour and often very low concentrations that produce odour detectable by the human nose.
However, some industries and applications have a known source of odour resulting from compounds such as mercaptans, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, typically from industries such as pulp and paper manufacturing, fertiliser production, landfills and composting facilities.
Acoem offers extensive and extremely sensitive instrumentation and systems that enables the low ppb monitoring of these species down to 1 ppb, fully integrated with our data evaluation and reporting software:
