Appendix 3.3 Calculation of Odour Emission Factors and Vent Pipe Information
Temp = 30 degrees or 86 F
ORP = 50 mV (for septic sewage)
A = 0.5 m x surface area of tank
V = 5 air change per hour
Cf = 0.52 for 5 air changes per hour
DF = 1.6 X (T/10) 4.9 X (ORP + 200)-0.59 Oum-3
E = DF X Air Volume of the emission source (m3) x ( V/3600) X Cf OUS-1

  H2S at inlet = 10 ppm  
  With 99.5% odour removal efficiency = 0.05 ppm  
     
  With odour unit for H2S = 0.0005 ppm  
  (In accordance with Final EIA Report for Tune Mun Sewerage - Eastern Coastal Sewerage Extension)  
  Odour emission at exit of vent pipe = 100 OUm-3
