OdoWatch® provides continuous monitoring of odor sources to help operators prevent odor complaints
OdoWatch® Odor Monitoring
OdoWatch® system's electronic nose is calibrated to "smell" odors and quantify them in odor units. The system monitors odor sources and displays the odor intensity as a color-coded plume overlaid on a site map. Operators are alerted that actions need to be taken before the odor intensity reaches a point that can be detected by the human nose.
How OdoWatch® Works
- OdoWatch® technology positions e-noses near the site's odor sources. The e-noses are calibrated to recognize and quantify your site's odors in odor units. This data is sent to a central control unit (CCU) at your site.
- A weather tower collects data at your site and transmits the information to the same central control unit.
- The CCU combines the weather data and uses proprietary software to display the intensity of the odor as a color coded plume overlaid on a site map.
Results
Operators are warned when a situation could result in odor compliants. This early warning enables process adjustments or proactive steps to be taken to prevent nuisance odors.
Quantification of odors enables right-size odor control measures and prevents overdosing of treatment chemicals for odor control, thus saving costs.
