NOSE SUEZ - Efficient and sustainable odour management
•
1 like•599 views
Rapid urban growth is putting pressure on governments to provide water and sanitation services. As populations increase and facilities are built closer to residences, it is difficult to site essential wastewater treatment plants. Residents living near industrial facilities are more aware of potential odour issues. SUEZ has developed an integrated odour management system called NOSE that uses both technical and community engagement approaches to characterize, treat, and monitor odour emissions to help integrate industrial facilities into local communities.

NOSE SUEZ - Efficient and sustainable odour management
- 2. 2 Rapid urban growth and increasing population density place increasing pressure on local governments to provide sustainable access to water and sanitation services. Such challenges can require significant investment in new infrastructure. At the same time, traditional buffers between residential and industrial sites, including wastewater treatment plants, are being eroded and residents are living closer to existing facilities. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable locations for essential wastewater and water treatment facilities.
- 3. 3 With increased proximity to industrial facilities, communities are becoming more and more aware of potential odour nuisances. Amidst these growing social pressures and community expectations, governments are responding with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. SUEZ has developed smart, new, reliable and collaborative approaches to odour management to better enable the integration and acceptance of industrial facilities within local communities.
- 4. 4 NOSE, developed by SUEZ, can characterise, treat and monitor odour emissions. It is suitable for both municipal and industrial applications including wastewater treatment, sludge recycling, industrial emissions and urban air quality.
- 6. 6 anintegrated approach NOSE integrates both technical and human approaches to improve odour management. Data from both technical and human approaches is fused to develop solutions that effectively mitigate nuisance odours. Solutions might include design or optimisation of suitable treatment processes, improving building ventilation or even the use of odour-masking agents. Technicalapproach Sources and dispersion of odour emissions identified and mapped using dedicated sensors, mathematical models and data such as customer complaints. Humanapproach Local community engagement utilising Odour Wheel® developed specifically for each industrial activity or neighbourhood. Increased communication between local residents and operators enables a local ‘Nose Jury’ to effectively characterise the odour footprint. Residents are educated on identification of odour types with the wheel providing useful descriptors, such as ‘burnt match’ or ‘rotten eggs’, to help identify the location and source of nuisance odours.
- 7. 7 OdourWheel® Odour Wheel® methodology relates a perceived odour with a recognised and familiar odour. The tool can be adapted to different industrial activities. Site operators, customers and neighbouring residents are trained in the characterisation and recognition of odours specific to the site. This common language shared by all stakeholders allows development of a constructive dialogue and integration of the facilities into their social and environmental context.

- 8. 8 effective and sustainable odour management NOSE consists of a comprehensive range of solutions ranging from identification and anticipation of odour sources through to the treatment and real-time monitoring of odour emissions.
- 9. NOSESense Identify and characterise olfactory footprint Potential odour sources are identified and mapped. We then measure the odorous emissions in order to model atmospheric dispersion and potential impact on the surrounding environment. We then use the Odour Wheel® methodology to characterise the perceived olfactory footprint. NOSEMonitor Anticipate and monitor odorous emissions The NOSE platform enables you to anticipate and monitor odour emissions, in real-time, using the latest innovations in sensor technology. Our ‘Nose Panel’ trains your operators and our ‘Residents Panel’ integrates neighbouring residents to help monitor nuisance odours. NOSEProtect Treat and control odour emissions SUEZ offers a wide-range of proven solutions for effectively treating odours and reducing their nuisance impact. Tailored solutions could include ventilation optimisation, advanced biofiltration technologies or mobile treatment solutions. 9
- 10. 10 NOSE is a proven odour management solution being used in over 200 projects throughout the world. In France, SUEZ introduced NOSE to collaborate with the community of Bordeaux, to evaluate the odour emissions and anticipate nuisance odours from urban wastewater treatment activities. In Australia, SUEZ worked with Sydney Water and the University of New South Wales across six waste water treatment plants between May 2012 to November 2014 to study odour nuisances associated with biosolids. Currently, in collaboration with Allwater and SA Water, SUEZ managed odours associated with the sewage collection network in metropolitan Adelaide. NOSE references Long Island Santiago
