Air Quality and Odour Monitoring Solutions

How Can We Help?

Scentroid has Developed a Unique Approach to Landfill and Compost Facility Air Quality and Odour Management!


Elevate your landfill air quality management with Scentroid’s advanced stationary monitors. Engineered to meet the unique challenges of landfill environments, our state-of-the-art monitors provide continuous, real-time data on emissions, ensuring compliance with local regulations.

At Scentroid, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art solutions that go beyond traditional monitoring. Our holistic approach addresses the intricate challenges of landfill air quality management, offering a suite of technologies that harmonize with environmental standards and community expectations. Join us in shaping a sustainable future with intelligent air quality solutions.

Cutting-Edge Stationary Monitoring

Our stationary air quality monitors provide continuous, real-time data to track and manage emissions effectively. With precision and reliability at the core of our technology, these monitors are tailored to meet the stringent requirements of regulatory standards, and can be customized to monitor a wide variety of pollutants

Taking Monitoring Capabilities to New Heights!

Our drone-based air quality monitors offer a dynamic and comprehensive perspective. Unleashing the power of aerial surveillance, these drones enable a swift and thorough assessment of air quality across the entire landfill area. This not only enhances efficiency but also allows for a proactive approach to minimizing environmental impact.

Convenient Olfactometry Solutions

Our portable solutions provide the flexibility needed for on-the-go assessments. Olfactometric monitoring ensures that not only are emissions within regulatory limits but also that the odorous elements are effectively managed, promoting a harmonious coexistence with neighbouring communities.

Monitor Your Local Community

Our Sensitive Receptor Tracking services elevate monitoring to the next level. We offer a comprehensive system to trace and analyze the impact of emissions on specific receptors, empowering authorities and operators with actionable insights for informed decision-making.

Landfill and Compost Monitoring Overview

Track your sensitive receptors, and view the direct effects an emission source may have on them, down to the odour unit per second value!

Using “Event Triangulation” SIMS3 AI can pinpoint the location of unknown sources and determine their contribution to the complaints received

A typical landfill requires approximately 6-8 air quality monitoring devices strategically stationed around the facility perimeter based on collected data.

Track the sudden and adverse changes in the operational and environmental dynamics of your landfill site. These disruptions can result from various factors, such as changes in waste composition, weather events, equipment malfunctions, or operational errors. 

Our cutting-edge technology allows for meticulous monitoring and mapping of specific odor-emitting areas within the landfill. By identifying and tracking these known sources, our solutions enable landfill operators to proactively address and manage odorous emissions. Scentroid’s advanced tracking mechanisms not only enhance regulatory compliance but also empower operators to implement targeted strategies for odor control.

Once odour complaints are filed, SIMS3 will collect them and visually present them in a mappable, easy-to-read format. SIMS3 AI will also analyze the contributor of the source that led to the complaint.

Stationary Equipment

Landfill and Compost zones emit a diverse array of airborne chemicals, the composition of which depends on factors such as waste type, decomposition processes, and environmental conditions. Chief among these is methane (CH4), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), Ammonia (NH3), Carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and Particulate matter (PM). To monitor your plant, Scentroid recommends our CTair and our Scentinal stationary continuous air quality monitors.  

Scentroid Quick Tip Odor Control
For a typical 50-100 acre facility, we recommend 8-12 continuous air quality monitoring units.
Be Proactive, Not Reactive! Failing to respond to Government imposed regulations could be costly.
Track local complaints using SIMS3 - Our software features complaint classification system that will inform you if complaints are justified or not.
Do you feel as if your facility may not have contributed to a nearby complaint? SIMS3 can help!

Odour Patrol

The Odour Patrol methodology was developed by Scentroid in 2015 to map the odour impact of the entirety of the city of Ras Laffan in Qatar, and has since been used in Canada, UAE, USA, Italy, Chile and many more countries with great success. This combines the use of the field olfactometer SM100i, and handheld or mobile ambient air quality monitors. These could range from the Scentroid US20, to the DR2000 flying laboratory, and the TR8 Odotracker product lines.

Triangulation of Unknown Sources

If you are trying to determine the location of potentially unknown sources, SIMS3 offers a triangulation mode and identifier to assist you with pinpointing unknown sources. SIMS3 features the ability to perform triangulation from odour events or from ambient air monitoring equipment readings.

Odour Complaint Justification

Landfill Air Quality and Odour Complaints

Once entered, SIMS3 will determine whether an odour complaint is justified or not. Red indicates that the complaint was automatically categorized as “justified”, those in green would be recorded, but categorized as “not justified,” those in yellow would be recorded and categorized as “to be justified”. Furthermore, the user can use triangulation to determine the source of unjustified odours.

Odour Complaint Analysis

What are the Underlying Causes of your Odour Complaints?

SIMS3 features a correlation module that determines what events caused the greatest odours and what the contributing sources may have been. Furthermore, should your facility’s process events be recorded, SIMS3 will associate those events with odour increases.

The correlation between landfill odors and public dissatisfaction is well-established, with odor-related complaints being a common environmental issue.
Christensen, Thomas H., et al. "Odor problems in waste management and their control." Waste Management 23.5 (2003)
Public health concerns related to landfill odors include respiratory issues reported by residents living in proximity to waste disposal sites.
Oyelami, Benjamin O., et al. "Assessment of odour annoyance potential around municipal solid waste dumpsites." Atmospheric Environment 42.15 (2008)
Community perceptions of landfill odors can vary, and studies emphasize the importance of considering public sentiment in the development of odor control strategies.
Zhang, Hui, et al. Science of the Total Environment 628-629 (2018)
In addition to the economic costs, odor complaints can also have a negative impact on public health, with studies linking exposure to odors...to respiratory problems, headaches, and nausea.
American Public Health Association, "Odor and Health Effects," 2017
Quantifying the economic impact of landfill odors involves considering factors such as property devaluation and potential costs associated with public complaints and legal actions.
