Sewerage and wastewater odour
Katestone – the experts in odour impact assessment for wastewater treatment and sewage projects.
The determination of odour impacts from sewage and WWTP (wastewater treatment plants) has become increasing important as:
- Population has increased and encroachment on infrastructure has intensified
- Regulators have increased their focus on the protection of amenity
- Increased ventilation of sewage systems to reduce damage associated with corrosive sewage gasses

- Working at a senior level in the EPA
- Completing PhD and Masters of Engineering research in odour nuisance, abatement and impact assessment
