SAMPLING AND CHARACTERIZATION BY OLFACTOMETRY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF COAGULANT TYPE AND % FECL3 ON ODORS

This tender, issued by the Ville de Montréal, concerns environmental services and water treatment. The objective is to conduct sampling and characterization using olfactometry to assess the impact of different coagulant types and varying percentages of ferric chloride (FeCl3) on odor generation. This analysis is crucial for optimizing water treatment processes and mitigating odor nuisances associated with these chemicals. The procurement method is a negotiated contract, indicating a specific or specialized service requirement. The Ville de Montréal is seeking expert services to perform detailed olfactometric analysis, which involves measuring the perceived intensity and character of odors. This will help in understanding the relationship between the chemical composition of coagulants, particularly FeCl3 concentration, and the resulting odor profiles in treated water or wastewater. The findings are expected to inform decisions regarding the selection and dosage of coagulants to achieve the most effective odor control while ensuring water quality standards are met. This initiative falls under the broader category of environmental services and water treatment, highlighting the city's commitment to improving environmental conditions and public health through advanced analytical techniques.
