Olfactometric analysis
Making the invisible measurable
ProdAl is equipped with modern instrumentation and state-of-the-art laboratories to transform analytical data on air quality into actionable knowledge.
Our olfactometric investigations go beyond delivering numerical results—they actively contribute to the sustainable management of environmental resources and the optimization of industrial processes.
By using advanced olfactometers, we combine technical and sensory expertise to ensure reliable analyses fully compliant with current regulations.
We support companies and institutions in decision-making processes, providing robust scientific tools for environmental protection and harmonious coexistence with the surrounding territory.
Our expertise
Emission sampling and characterization
Our work begins with monitoring emission sources at production facilities. We follow strict air sampling protocols to ensure each sample accurately represents real operational conditions. This phase is essential for identifying the nature of emissions and laying the foundation for precise and indisputable impact assessments.
Odor concentration determination
At the core of our service is dynamic olfactometric analysis. Using olfactometers, we expose air samples to a panel of carefully selected evaluators, transforming sensory perception into objective, measurable data. This method allows us to determine odor concentration (expressed in odor units), providing a scientific measure that surpasses the limits of traditional chemical analyses in detecting complex mixtures.
Modeling and mitigation strategies
We go beyond individual measurements by analyzing data to assess environmental impact on a territorial scale. We assist companies in identifying process “hotspots” and developing strategies to reduce emissions. This integrated approach encourages the adoption of advanced technologies and innovative practices to minimize the environmental footprint of production sites.
