Applied Research

Using the advanced analytical capabilities of the Odour Laboratory we offer a range of services for analysing gaseous emissions. Examples of common analyses we conduct include

• Characterisation of Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) quantified using US EPA TO-15 on sorbent tubes  - options exist conducting ODP analysis to sensorially identify key odorants.
• Quantification of reduced sulfur compounds, particularly mercaptans (common problematic odorants)
• Quantification of siloxanes in biogas from wastewater treatment plants or landfills
• Analytical or sensorial analysis of emissions from materials (Packaging, manufacturing, products)
