PRA OdourNet BV, previously Project Research Amsterdam BV, has been dedicated to providing consultancy on environmental odours since 1980. Renamed to PRA OdourNet BV in 2001, the company continues to provide advice to industry, consulting engineers and government bodies. PRA OdourNet BV works mainly for the national market in the Netherlands, but also operates internationally (e.g. United States, Latin America, Asia).

The accumulated experience of carrying out thousands of odour surveys and consultancy projects puts PRA OdourNet BV is in a unique position, having the benefit of hindsight, to provide independent answers and solutions for odour annoyance management to its clients.  

Projects range from policy evaluations for national governments through to the purely technological, aimed at achieving the most cost effective                                         Singel 97, F.Stock, oil on canvas, 2001
solution for a specific problem.
 

As a rule, a project will pass through three identifiable stages. There is an initial phase of odour source characterisation. For an existing plant, odour samples are used as the basis for analysis. In the case of proposed installations, expected emission rates can be estimated using data on typical emission rates from our extensive knowledge base.

The second stage is assessment of the potential for causing odour annoyance using the latest dispersion modelling software. Graphical representations in the form of contours on a map of the area indicate where odour nuisance is likely. 

Finally, an odour abatement strategy is defined, that aims to find a balance between the interests of the community and the costs that industry incurs.

PRA OdourNet BV is owned by OdourNet Holding BV. The foundations for the group were laid in the Netherlands and the Dutch company has contributed most in the field of research and development. The OdourNet R&D team works within the Amsterdam office.
