Smart Odour Management
Optimise your odour treatment and save operational costs. Smart Odour Management is a system to save costs in case your odour emissions are already well controlled.
Good odour treatment installations, that reduce odour nuisance to the environment often lead to high operational costs.
In many cases, industrial odour emissions, do not have a harmful impact on humans or the environment apart from the perception of odour itself. Odorous emissions are reduced based on the nuisance they may cause in the surrounding area. If there is no such nuisance, odour treatment is theoretically unnecessary.
This concept forms the basis of the Smart Odour Management application developed by Odoro.
Key elements
Based on odour dispersion modelling, the odour impact on the surrounding area is determined. When weather conditions, such as wind direction and air stability, allow it, the odour treatment can be placed in bypass. This allows material and energy costs to be saved. Some key elements of Smart Odour Management are:
Avoiding unnecessary switching on and off due to hysteresis effect
Independent of the company's internal IT network
Real-time odour modelling by monitoring meteorological parameters
Full control from the site remains possible via a physical switch
Case-specific fine-tuning (to specific location and activities)
Real-time overview of savings
Backtesting of the savings
Applications
This system is applicable to any odour treatment plant that creates operational costs. Applying Smart Odour Management can reduce operational costs by 30%-50% (or more). Some examples:
Activated carbon
Reduction of energy and activated carbon
Oxidative scrubber
Reduction of chemicals
