Résumé

Chile is looking to define a regulatory framework for the odour emissions of various critical industrial activities. One of these is the sanitary sector, with 300 wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The basis currently used by the Chilean environmental authority to assess odours is the set of odour emission factors (OEF) taken from the Dutch standard. The aim of this study was to compare these, used as a national reference, with our own OEF calculated from measurements using dynamic olfactometry of 41 WWTP. The dependence of OEF on operational variables such as flow rate and BOD
