This study assesses the dispersion and emission rates of odor form industrial area source. CALPUFF and AERMOD Gaussian models were used for predicting downwind odor concentration and calculating odor emission rates. The studied region was Seobu industrial complex in Korea. Odor samples were collected five days over a year period in 2006. In-site meteorological data (wind direction and wind speed) were used to predict concentration. The BOOT statistical examination software was used to analyze the data. Comparison between the predicted and field sampled downwind concentration using BOOT analysis indicates that the CALPUFF model prediction is a little better than AERMOD prediction for average downwind odor concentrations. Predicted concentrations of AERMOD model have a little larger scatter than that of CALPUFF model. The results also show odor emission rates of Seobu industrial complex area were an order of 10 smaller than that of beef cattle feed lots.

Odor sources of a chemical plant in Ulsan were surveyed and temperatures, humidities and flow rates of each exhaust gas were measured. The air samples collected from each source were transferred to the laboratory for sensory test and their odor concentrations were investigated. The odor emission rate of each source was estimated from the recorded results and assigned the sources expected to be needed for the odor prevention policy using the simple prediction equation of the affection by malodor to the nearest residential area. From the total odor emission rate of the examined plant and the relation table for expectable affection area it was concluded that total odor emission of this plant might be decreased for the prevention of residential complaint.

Odor dispersion around a cubic building from rooftop odor emissions was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The Shear Stress Transport (here after SST) $k-{\omega}$ model in FLUENT CFD code was used to simulate the flow and odor dispersion around a cubic building. The CFD simulations were performed for three different configurations of cubic buildings comprised of one building, two buildings or three buildings. Five test emission rates were assumed as 1000 OU/s, 2000 OU/s, 3000 OU/s, 4000 OU/s and 5000 OU/s, respectively. Experimental data from wind tunnels obtained by previous studies are used to validate the numerical result of an isolated cubic building. The simulated flow and concentration results of neutral stability condition were compared with the wind tunnel experiments. The profile of streamline velocity and concentration simulation results show a reasonable level of agreement with wind tunnel data. In case of a two-building configuration, the result of emission rate 1000 OU/s illustrates the same plume behavior as a one-building configuration. However, the plume tends to the cover rooftop surface and windward facet of a downstream building as the emission rate increases. In case of a three-building configuration, low emission rates (<4000 OU/s) form a similar plume zone to that of a two-building configuration. However, the addition of a third building, with an emission rate of 5000 OU/s, creates a much greater odorous plume zone on the surface of second building in comparison with a two-building configuration.

In this study, the AERMOD dispersion model was used for predicting odor concentrations and back-calculating industrial area source odor emission rate. The studied area was Sihwa industrial complex in Korea. Odor samples were collected during two days over a year period in 2009. The comparison between the predicted and observed concentrations indicates that the AERMOD model could fairly well predict average downwind odor concentrations. The results show odor emission rates of Sihwa industrial complex area source were ranged from 0.204 to 2.320 $OUms^{-1}$ (average 0.476 $OUms^{-1}$). The results also show wind speed and direction are important parameters to the odor dispersion.

돈사에서 발생하는 악취로 인한 주변지역 영향을 EPA가 권장하는 ISCST3 모델을 적용하여 악취모델링을 실시하여 복합악취 기준과 비교하고 악취 저감대책을 수립하는데 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 돈사 악취의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 자돈과 성돈에 따라서 평균치와 최소, 최대치로 분류하여 악취 농도를 예측하였다. 양돈장의 혼합 악취의 예측 결과에서 인접 건물들은 허용한계를 초과하나 양돈장으로부터 185m 떨어진 거리에 있는 피해지역에서는 허용한계를 만족하였다. 허용한계에 대한 악취 배출량을 확인하기 위해 관리동에서 누출량을 측정하였으며 누출량 50%, 30%, 10% 기준으로 악취 농도를 예측한 결과는 관리동에서 1hr 기준 최대 발생량이 10.59~52.93, 19.05~31.76, 10.59 $OU/m^3/s/m^2$로 수인한도 10.00 $OU/m^3/s/m^2$를 다소 초과하는 것으로 예측되었으나, 누출량을 10% 미만으로 관리시 수인한도를 만족할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

There have been persistent civil appeals in Ansan area against the odor and aerosols emitted from nearby Banwol/Sihwa industrial complex. A fundamental solution for the good air quality has not been addressed yet in spite of the continuous counterplan to reduce odor emission. A systematic and scientific study is needed to examine the reason for the odor episode and to predict the impact coverage of odor pollution. An approach by computational simulation is considered to be adequate to investigate the transportation and the dispersion processes of air pollutants blown by sea breeze toward the coastal city, Ansan. This study has employed various dispersion models to simulate the transportation and the dispersion processes of odor pollutants by a local circulation between land/sea breeze using the data set of emission rates of odorous species from the Banwol/Sihwa industrial complex.

The purpose of this study is to predict VOCs emission rates from multi-layers materials, which are composed of single-layer materials having various VOCs emission rates, by using effective diffusion coefficients of the single-layer materials. The study was consisted of two parts; the one is the prediction of VOCs emission rates from multi-layer materials through numerical methods. The other is the measurement of VOCs emissions rates of wall composite and floor composite in Mock-up rooms for comparing the prediction and the experiments' values. The results of the study show that the short-term VOCs emission rates of multi-layers materials can be predicted from the effective diffusion coefficients of single materials in odor accuracy.

Odors emitted from pig houses have been a constant root of legal issues in pig farming. These gases are among the main causes of health and mental stresses to nearby communities, so policymakers and researchers continuously study to reduce the concentration of odorous gases from pig facilities. A continuous field experiment proved that the concentration of odor emissions inside the pig houses is highly dependent on ventilation rate, breeding details, and animal activities. However, the standard odor emission rate worldwide widely varies due to differences in pig house designs and ventilation requirements. Thus, this study aimed to measure the odor emission rates, considering the actual condition of selected Korean pig houses, through field measurement. The odor measurements were performed at three different pig production facilities without odor abatement technologies. The target experimental pig houses were buildings for weaning, growing, and fattening pigs. Results showed that the actual ventilation rate in target pig houses falls below the standard ventilation requirement of pigs, resulting in high odor concentrations inside the pig houses.

In this study, the test results obtained from the performance tests for CA (Korea Association of Cleaning Air) certificated air cleaners which had been commercially available in Korea from 2003 to 2015 were analyzed. Among the test parameters such as flow rate, particle collection efficiency, clean air delivery rate (CADR), ozone emission, odor removal efficiency and noise level, noise level and CADR were correlated with flow rates. Collection and odor removal efficiencies were 20% higher than the limit of the CA certification. The ozone emissions from the air cleaners were negligible because all the air cleaners were equipped with only HEPA filters, not electrostatic precipitation method which produces ozone.

퇴비화시 생물학적 활성을 증대하고 악취발생을 최소화 할 수 있는 적절한 공기주입율을 구명하고자 밀폐형 bench-scale reartor 퇴비화 시스템을 이용하여 시험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1) 공기주입율이 증가할수록 생물학적 활성은 증대하여 0.6 L/min/kg dry-solids 처리가 가장 높았고, 퇴비화 35일째의 퇴적물 품질도 가장 양호하였다. 2) 암모니아 평균 배출농도는 0.6 < 0.1 < 0.4 < 0.2 L/min/kg dry-solids 처리 순으로 낮았으며, 0.6 L/min/kg dry-solids 처리시 암모니아 배출농도는 0.2 L/min/kg dry-solids 처리에 비해 약 40% 수준에 불과하였다. 3) 계분톱밥 퇴비화시 주요 악취원인 황화합물 가스는 공기주입율이 낮을수록 배출농도가 높고 배출기간도 길어지는 경향이었으나, 0.6 L/min/㎏ dry-solids 처리에서는 전혀 검출되지 않았다. 4) 계분톱밥 퇴적물의 초기 수분함량을 60%로 조절하고 0.6 L/min/kg dry-solids의 공기주입율로 퇴비화할 경우 생물학적 활성증대로 인한 양질의 퇴비생산과 황화합물 및 암모니아에 대한 악취발생을 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
