Odours

Odour assessment and management helps to reduce local nuisance and enhance enjoyment. It is an important part of the planning and permitting process.  

Air Quality Consultants has over thirty years’ experience in helping organisations monitor and manage odours and meet their regulatory requirements.  Our approaches include odour risk assessments, complaint data reviews, field odour surveys by trained assessors (sniff tests), Best Available Technique (BAT) assessments, odour management plans, and quantitative dispersion modelling, among other bespoke services.

Our services support operators with odour management and environmental permitting, as well as assessments for developers seeking planning permission in relation to encroachment of proposed development on existing odorous processes.

Industries we work with include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • wastewater treatment works and pumping stations

  • composting facilities

  • biofuels and anaerobic digestion facilities

  • waste handling and transfer stations

  • waste treatment facilities and energy from waste sites

  • rendering of animal by-products

  • intensive livestock activities and slurry storage and handling
