TOMS
Our TOMS Total Odour Management Software offers a complete and integrated suite for odour management. The system blends real-time odour impact estimation with the registration and management of odour complaints from neighboring residents.
Our easy-to-use software utilizes both continuous pollution monitoring data and live weather data to calculate a real-time odour plume model, displaying the exact location and spread of your odour emissions. Furthermore, the system automatically logs complaints and compares them to odour emissions for quick and efficient validation.
Our TOMS program outlined here follows a simple 4-step methodology to help you tackle any odour situation with ease and certainty.
From estimation to monitoring and odour dispersion, TOMS provides a complete solution for understanding a facility’s total odour impact.
Estimate of Emissions
The first step to fully understanding and solving any odour issue starts with creating an initial estimate of its emissions. This process can be as comprehensive as conducting a full odour inventory. For example, using field olfactometry devices like the SM100i, or as simple as utilizing Scentroid’s extensive emission factor database. Scentroid’s environmental engineers will guide you through this step to ensure you achieve a cost-effective yet accurate initial estimate.
When you address the potential subjectivity of registering an odour complaint, applying a system like this removes a significant source of potential error.
Project Levels of Pollution
The initial odour inventory helps create an odour plume. It indicates how odours will travel and affect nearby residents visually. To calculate this plume, we use USEPA air dispersion modeling software (AERMOD).
The dispersion model considers the odour emissions from each source. While also taking into account local meteorological data, such as wind speed and wind direction. This approach allows us to apply a model to both surface and elevated sources, accounting for both simple and complex terrain variations.
Monitor Pollution Using Total Odour Management Software
Odour emissions constantly change based on processes, ambient weather conditions, or upset situations. TOMS automatically calculates and updates to reflect these changes through live ambient odour monitoring.
We use monitoring stations, such as the CTair and Scentinal, to measure ground-level odours at facility boundaries, directly over large sources, or at sensitive receptors. Scentroid’s monitoring equipment is specifically designed to detect trace levels (parts per billion) of odorous compounds such as H₂S, NH₃, and VOCs. The system converts the pollutant measurements to odour units (OU/m³) using Scentroid’s deep learning algorithm. Then, we use the collected data in the next phase to compute changes to the source emission rates.
Calculate Error Estimate
The most critical step of TOMS live monitoring is updating the emission estimate based on real ground-level odour measurements. Every minute, TOMS compares its estimated odour level from dispersion modeling to the actual measurements collected through continuous odour monitoring equipment. If a significant difference exists, TOMS adjusts its emission rates to compensate.
The system updates the emission rates using a fuzzy logic algorithm that considers weather data, source variation patterns, detected pollutants, and historical estimates. Users receive an extremely accurate odour emission projection. Users can use the updated emission rates to analyze how sources emit odours over time, which operations are more detrimental to an overall odour control strategy.
TOMS Features
Real-Time Odour Emission Monitoring
This summary page displays a real-time plume and includes a menu for changing users or logging out, adjusting settings, viewing plots based on time and date, displaying open complaints, and accessing weather data for the plot.
Complaint Management System
Any TOMS user can register a new complaint, or you can use a link provided within your project documentation. Once you register a complaint, the system compares it to the odour impact at the specified location and time.
Complaint Justification System
Once you enter a complaint, our TOMS Total Odour Management Software system records the complaint, the time it was made, and any answers supplied by your facility.
Weather Forecast & Predictive Risk System
TOMS can handle data and information compiled from multiple sources. With a minimal setup procedure, TOMS obtains weather data from a local weather station or the nearest meteorological station.
Advanced Data Analytics
TOMS can dynamically generate a thorough and complete odour report for a user-selected time period. The report details the complaints received each month and indicates whether they are justified.
COMPATIBLE DEVICES
Perfect for SL50
This continuous monitoring station collects data from a variety of sensors and presents it with an easy to understand graphical interface.
AQSafe Friendly
Observes your indoor air quality from a wide variety of sensors, including temperature and humidity. Sensors can track dust, VOC’s, compounds found indoors.
