Odor Control 1

Odor Control

John Chastain, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Clemson University

For an odor to be detected downwind, odorous compounds must be (a) formed, (b) released to the atmosphere, and (c) transported to the receptor site. These three steps provide the basis for most odor control. If any one of the steps is inhibited, the odor will diminish.
