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).
