Nasal Ranger Field Olfactometer

1 Measure odors with Ranger Field OlfactometerNow, facility operators, communityinspectors and neighborhood citizenscan conduct complete odor monitoring,regulation, enforcement and documenta-tion in the Field . The Nasal Ranger goesbeyond traditional estimation methods,easily measuring odor strength at specificlocations surrounding a Olfactometry is a NecessityMeasuring odor strength is crucial for deter-mining specific odor sources, verifying com-plaints, monitoring daily industrial operationsand documenting specific odor episodes. Itsapplications are endless: industrial, agricultur-al, and municipal operations including waste-water treatment, landfills, composting, manu-facturing and much the Nasal Ranger you can: Monitor daily industrial operations Evaluate odor mitigation methods Create credible, defensible evidence Determine and monitor compliance Investigate odor control effectiveness Verify odor dispersion modeling Determine specific odor sources Verify odor complaintsNasal Ranger Field OlfactometerThe Nasal Ranger is a portable odor-measur-ing device that allows users to quantify odorstrength in nearly any location or circum-stance.

With these changes and a new aggressivecomplaint response program, the WWTP significantlyreduced community odor complaints.

It takes the subjectivity out ofodor measurement and provides a universal standard forpersonnel to document odor strength in the Field . TheNasal Ranger provides a cost-effective method to confi-dently measure Ranger TrainingA focused Nasal Ranger trainingcourse is available through the St.

4 Croix Sensory ODOR SCHOOL .This complete training program gives Nasal Ranger users extensiveknowledge and experience with itsvarious monitoring and measuring the Nasal Ranger is a reliable way to quantify odor strength in terms of Dilution-to-Threshold (D/T) ratios. The D/T measurement is the most common method of measuringodors. This allows experts to quantify odors on a commonly recognized scale. To make a D/T measurement, carbon-filtered air is mixed with specific volumes of odorousambient air. The D/T ratio is a measure of the number of dilutions needed to take the odor-ous air to its for AccuracyBecause sniff rates vary from user to user, the Nasal Ranger includes a calibratedflow sensor to increase measurement consistency.

5 When in use, the flow sensorassures users that their sniff rate reading is at the inhalation target. EachNasal Ranger comes with a calibration certificate to guarantee accuracy. The portability and ease of use of the Nasal Ranger allowedthe County to quantify odorsaround a municipal waste handlingfacility before and after odor mitiga-tion efforts were introduced. The datagave us the confidence that our mitiga-tion efforts were successful and odorsfrom the facility would not impact theneighborhood.
