Abstract
This work describes the implementation of an e-nose for the continuous measurement of odour concentration at a scrubber at a wastewater treatment plant, with the purpose of identifying odour peaks and investigate their causes. To this purpose, application-specific sampling and data processing were developed, able to deal with the interferences occurring in a complex industrial environment. Results show that instrumental predictions are within the confidence intervals of the reference method, and the system provided useful information for the plant operators to reduce the odour nuisance.
