Melhores práticas em gestão de odor para uma usina de compostagem

Abstract

Air pollution is a task for today's society. Likewise, the management of solid waste also presents itself as another challenge that needs to be equalized. These two challengesmeet each other when composting facilities emerge as an economically, environmentally, and socially viable alternative for the management of organic waste. As a result, the management of odour emissions by these facilities is an issue that has been studied and debated for several decades. Given this scenario, this study aimed to survey the methods and technologies used to mitigate and control odour emissions in composting plants, with the possibility of being replicated in an enterprise located in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, Pernambuco. In this sense, an empirical, exploratory study with a qualitative approach was required, based on a bibliographical, documental, and field research survey on the best practices of odor management in composting. Among the practices assessed, the UFSC method, name in reference to the Federal University of Santa Catarina, where it was studied and adapted to Brazilian conditions, and permeable cover system can be applied to the case study
