ODESSA Database
Industrial plant for odor assessment
Use factors as preliminary support. Permitting-grade work needs measured data or a documented study.

Database

Select the source.

Activity category responsible for odor emissions.
Associated emission source or process.
Operational detail used to identify the factor.
Select activity, source and equipment to display the factor.

Proper use

A support database, not a substitute for measurements.

Emission factors are useful when measurements are unavailable, but they do not replace olfactometric campaigns, process checks or dispersion modeling for complex cases.

  1. 01
    Technical context
    Check process, plant scale, units and reference before applying a factor.
  2. 02
    Uncertainty
    Treat the result as indicative information, especially for permitting or design studies.
