Odor screening tool

Maximum recommended emission rate

Estimate the maximum recommended odor emission rate from a stack, including simplified corrections for rising terrain or one nearby building.

  • Level 1 screening
  • Simple cases
  • Odor criterion
  • NSW reference method

Industrial stack odor screening
Use this as a first-pass screening tool. Complex cases need a dispersion modeling study.

Limits

A screening value, not a permitting model.

This procedure is intended for simple situations. Complex orography, several nearby buildings, non-standard sources, or permitting questions require a documented dispersion modeling study.

  1. 01
    Simple sources
    Use this for preliminary screening, not for complex source layouts.
  2. 02
    Site effects
    Complex terrain and multiple buildings require dispersion modeling.
