Processing Facility Odor Assessment

DESCRIPTION:

The Twin Rivers Technologies facility in Quincy, Massachusetts manufacturers over 80 different types of products for the soap and cosmetic industries from virgin vegetable oils and animal fats. The facility is located right on the water with neighbors directly across the water and in adjacent neighborhoods by land.  The facility had agreed to a number of odor control improvements and wanted to develop a third party odor baseline.  The facility also wanted to understand how to evaluate its own odor potential so it could demonstrate that it was improving odor control.

Tech Environmental conducted odor monitoring at locations on and around the facility on multiple dates to document the odor baseline of the processing facility. A report was provided that explained the process and procedures for measuring odors, so the facility could monitor its own odor footprint regularly and adjust processes to improve odor control.
