Mitigating Malodors at Pulp and Paper Production Plants, Paper360º July/August 2024 

In many industrial sectors, odor control is frequently overlooked or considered an afterthought following capital construction projects. Yet, in the pulp and paper industry, there is no mistaking a production plant’s presence in the surrounding community without effective odor abatement measures. Especially in an age when community gathering is easier than at any other time in known human history—due to the quick spread of posts on social media platforms and heightened public expectations of companies—the time before neighborhood odor complaints mount is brief.

The impacts of industrial malodors and subsequent complaints can range in gravity from catalyzing negative community relations all the way up to government-issued mandates to cease operation. Regardless of severity, it is always in plant managers’ best operational, business, and neighborly interests to keep odors at bay and maintain harmony with the local community.
