– Stockpiles, basins, lagoons• Land application sites • Method of land application• Feed storage• Mortality storage or
disposal areas

The FIDO Factors in Odor Assessment
Frequency (events/yr)
Intensity (dilutions to threshold)
Duration (hrs/event)
Offensiveness (subjective)

Technologies to Control Odor
• Prevent odor generation
• Capture or destroy odors before any release to the atmosphere
• Dispersion or disguise of odors
![Page 6: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Buildings = Constant Source
• Land application– Occurs once or twice
a year– Impact is for short
period of time• Storages
– Releases decrease in cold weather
– Management may affect releases significantly
Buildings typically release a relatively constant amount of odors & gases compared to:

Odor Prevention Technologies
• Manure removal• Dust control• Anaerobic treatment• Aeration or Oxidation• Feed additives• Manure pit or lagoon additives• pH control
![Page 8: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Frequent Manure Removal
Frequent removal of manure from floor surfaces reduces the generation of odors in a building.
![Page 9: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Manure Separation• Why are you separating??• It’s not always about
loading……• Sand, grit, debris• Difficult to remove fine
particles/nutrients• Knowledge of flowrate is
critical• Efficiency?? Don’t believe
what you are told!!

Sources of Odor from Outdoor Lots• Open lots
• Manure stockpiles
• Disposal pits
• Land application areas
• Runoff holding ponds
• Anaerobic lagoons (liquid manure handling)
• DUST

Chemical Additives to Manure for Odor and Gas Control
• Difficult to determine effectiveness of the many additives that are available
• Relatively few products have been shown to significantly reduce odor or gases like NH3.
• Products are available for addition to either liquid or solid manure.
• Concern over cost per animal per year
![Page 23: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• Dilute 1:5 –10 H2O• Maximize droplet size
– Large nozzles– Low pressures
• Minimize distance droplets move through the air– Downward projecting
nozzles– Drops to put nozzles in

• No wastewater irrigation if >10mph

• Vicinity Map– Manure Management System
• Site Plan– Land Application System– Climatic Data– Facility Odor Sources– Tiered Odor Reduction– Public Involvement– Review

Facility Odor Sources• Bulleted List of potential odor sources
– General ranking of sources overall• Discussion of each source
– Why is it a source?– How much does it contribute?
• Justification for ranking
• Ranking– Surface area, frequency, duration, intensity– Other data – chemical comp., location, etc.
![Page 50: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Tiered Odor Reduction
• Tiers– Enable facility to assess reduction techniques
“individually”– Prevents facility from spending large amounts
of money all at once• Allows to determine if more is needed
• IDAHO– 3-Tiered process
![Page 51: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Tiered Odor Reduction
• 3-Tiers– Each tier identifies
• Odor reduction techniques– Justification – expected result
• How & when implemented• Sources impacted• Monitoring plan for BMP Evaluation
– Tier 1• Typically low cost BMP’s & management changes• Should attempt to address all major issues on facility
– Tier 2 & 3• Build on tier 1 – more expensive and intense
![Page 52: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Public Involvement• Discretion of producer• Key item
– If public isn’t impacted, wouldn’t be developed• Prevention, animal & employee health
• Identify– How public will be involved
• Keep them aware of actions taken• How process is going
• OMP will not be successful w/o public satisfied
![Page 53: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Review
• The final section of an OMP• Should describe
– How plan will be assessed– Who will assess– When each tier will be evaluated
• OMP is a working document– Should allow for change & flexibility– Should limit the impact on how the facility
functions
![Page 54: Odor BMPS Dr. Ron E. Sheffield LSU AgCenter rsheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu 225.205.4533](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c8b5503460f94944ea8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Take Home Message• Understanding the waste system is
essential– Can’t select appropriate reduction measures
w/o understanding system• Odor reduction - Operation & Management• Thoroughly investigate reduction
techniques before they are implemented• If public is not satisfied, OMP never truly
successful• Employ PREVENTION, not reaction
