Version GERDA IV -PC-program for the estimation of odour emissions from 6 types of plants and odour concentrationon of Odour Emissions

SHARE
GERDA IV is a tool with which within the framework of licensing procedures, or in the case of neighbourhood complaints a first statement about the relevance of plants odour emissions can be obtained. GERDA IV calculates the frequency of odour hours on the basis of the Lagrangian particle model AUSTAL3.

  • GERDA IV provides estimates for the odour emissions for the following 6 types of plants:
    • Waste composting plants
    • Biogas plants
    • Lacquering
    • Smokehouses
    • Sewage treatment and
    • Foundries

The emission calculation in GERDA IV has been compared with a few available emission measurements. Seven comparisons were both lower and higher up to an factor 4. In GERDA IV, the odour emission can be entered as a point or an area source.

  • GERDA IV displays the calculated odor hour frequencies on the raster areas on georeferenced maps, OpenStreetMaps or definable WMTS maps. Three color levels are used for the raster display of the results:
    • Odour hours frequencies below 10%: no coloring,
    • Odour hours frequencies greater than or equal to 10% but less than 15%: blue coloring and
    • Odour hours frequencies greater than or equal to 15%: red coloring.
  • GERDA IV is delivered with the background report of GERDA IV. This report provides information on the functional relationships for the odour emissions and the most important parameters.
