How does Our Consulting Work?
Progress S.r.l. provides technical consulting across the full lifecycle of an industrial facility — from initial process design and permit applications through to ongoing monitoring, abatement system optimisation, and legal support. All consulting is grounded in nearly 30 years of hands-on experience in odour measurement, environmental modelling, and laboratory analysis.
We believe that to reduce the olfactory impact of a production process, it is necessary to act first on the process itself — where technically feasible and economically viable — and only secondly on exhaust air abatement systems.

What does Our Consulting Cover?
UNDERSTANDING THE SERVICE
Our consulting services cover four main areas — each addressing a different stage of the environmental compliance and odour management process.
Over the years, Progress S.r.l. has monitored hundreds of odour abatement systems from various manufacturers and technologies — measuring the actual odour removal efficiency of each. This wealth of data helps clients select the best technology and manufacturer for their specific emission profile, and factor operating costs into the design phase from the outset.

Hundreds of abatement systems monitored across multiple technologies and manufacturers — giving you independent, data-driven guidance on what actually works for your emission profile.
Permit & Regulatory Support
Full support for environmental authorisation procedures across Italian regions — including AIA, AUA, and IPPC applications — prepared by professionals with specific expertise in olfactory pollution legislation.
Court-Recognised Expertise
Our staff serves as court-appointed (CTU) and party-appointed (CTP) technical experts in civil and criminal proceedings — bringing laboratory-grade evidence to olfactory pollution litigation.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Questions we often asked
What types of facilities do you provide consulting for?
Can you help us reduce odour emissions from our process?
Yes. Progress S.r.l. provides technical consulting for the design, management, optimisation, and commissioning of industrial processes specifically aimed at reducing odorous gas generation and emissions — acting on the process itself before recommending abatement systems.
Can you design or evaluate our abatement system?
Yes. We design and optimise all types of odour abatement systems and size the associated exhaust air capture lines. We also measure the actual odour removal efficiency of existing systems — independently of the manufacturer.
Can you support us in court proceedings?
Yes. Our staff has extensive experience as court-appointed (CTU) and party-appointed (CTP) technical experts in criminal proceedings under Art. 674 of the Italian Criminal Code and civil proceedings under Art. 844 of the Italian Civil Code — covering olfactory pollution from industrial plants, restaurants, livestock farms, and more.
Do you also provide legal representation?
Through Progress S.r.l., clients can access law firms specialising in environmental technology, waste management, and olfactory pollution — covering administrative proceedings, permit renewals, contaminated site remediation, environmental due diligence in real estate transactions, and criminal defence in environmental offence cases.
