In the research laboratory that has been set up at the Profikomp® Innovation and Education Centre we con­duct numerous forms of research-based testing of waste materials, soils, composts, soil conditioners and fertilizer products using modern techniques and tools to determine their physical, chemical and biological parameters.

In the Research Laboratory we have bioreactors for simulating and studying all stages of the process from biowaste to finished products to include: analysis of raw materials, compost process simulation, odour emission potential measurements and the determination of product quality pa­rameters.

In our Phytotron we are able to examine the effect of fertilizer products on germination with the help of standardized phytotoxicity tests.

 

Feedstocks

  • examination of waste materials and by-products,
  • determination of biodegradability and compostability,
  • testing physical, chemical and biological parameters

 

Process

  • process tracking,
  • compost process simulations,
  • gas emissions measurements,
  • odour measurement with dynamic olfactometry,
  • baseline studies for impact area determination with field olfactometer

 

End-Products

  • Testing of composts, soil amendments and soil conditioning materials for
  • phytotoxicity, germination inhibi­tion effects,
  • maturity tests and respiration activity (AT4 value)

 

Examination of Fertilizers

  • Testing for product quality parameters,
  • plant growth tests in a modern phytotron,
  • weed seed germination tests,
  • algae tests.

Odour management

ProfiKomp® Odour Management Services

Odour prevention, management and reduction is important for all waste treatment plants. It is often a challenge for plant operators because:

  • persistent odour complaints are the leading cause of facility closures;
  • odour is difficult to characterize because it is a mixture of many compounds;
  • odour treshold concentration is often very low;
  • no single chemical has been identified as a good indicator of odor level.

ProfiKomp® Environmental Technologies Inc. offers complex odour management services which helps our clients to validate odor issues and assist in developing Best Practices to effectively address concerns

 

ProfiKomp® Odour Management Service Package includes:

  • Identifying the critical odour generating points at the plant (feedstock storage, pre-treatment, screening, biological process, etc.)
  • Onsite measurement of odour emission with field olfactometer Nasal Ranger - Measuring relevant weather conditions for identifying impact areas
  • Sampling odours - based on Standard EN 13725 - „Air quality - Determination of odour concentration by dynamic olfactometry for laboratory measurements” -  Using Nalophan sampling bags and „Lung method” field sampler;
  • Measuring odour emission and/ or emission (not accredited), analysis of samples using a 4 personel TO-7 Dynamic Olfactometer and selected Panel members;
  • Evaluation of data and identifying impact areas of odour with specialized software;
  • Personalized consulting services regarding odour reduction and management - preparation of a report and an adapted Odour Management Plan;
  • Annual validation with field olfactometer.

If you are interested or need further information related to odour emission measurement servives or the ProfiKomp® Odour Management Service Package, please contact us for more information.
