Investigation

Wind directionNorth West
Wind Speed4 Knots
Investigation result

Wind consistent with possible ETP odour. Qenos Olefins storm pond was empty and the ETP operating normally.  No activities at other complex plants reported potentially associated with offsite odours. Investigation at callers location identified an odour like a "tannery" or "foam burning", which is not consistent with an ETP odour. Further investigations detected this odour along Kororoit Creek Rd North West and upwind of the complex.

Response

No further action required.  Olefins ETP odour reduction activities are stewarded in the Qenos EIP.
