Call for Interested Contractors - Taste and Odour: Methods of Detection

Published On 31/10/2018

New UKWIR Project focussed on providing the water industry with a quantitative method of measuring Taste and Odour.

This project forms part of UKWIR’s Big Question ‘How do we achieve 100% compliance with drinking water standards by 2050?’

The project will improve our understanding of T&O by developing analytical methodologies and exploring the links between the molecular chemistry and the sensing that triggers customer contacts.

Contractor Tasks to include:

1. To review the analytical work to measure T&O, which should include a review of approaches from the food and beverage industry and perfumery.
2. To develop an analytical methodology for measuring T&O and demonstrate the linkages to the current subjective T&O panel test.
3. To assess the implications that the analytical method would have in terms of deployment within water company laboratories.
