PrOlor is a simple odor impact forecasting system for composting plants that supports BREF BAT 37 recommendations by anticipating odor episodes in sensitive areas.
It uses meteorological and dispersion models (such as GFS, WRF, CALMET, and CALPUFF) run in the cloud to send daily odor threshold exceedance forecasts by email. The study also aims to compare these predictions with actual odor records at a specific composting plant.
