Scentroid's Service
We are a team of experts set the example for environmental odour impact assessment protocol!
We utilize a unique approach developed based on odour patrol, reverse modelling, source testing, & olfactometric analysis. From there, we assess odour emissions and the impacts they may have on neighboring communities.
Through on-site sampling and analysis with Scentroid’s technologies, we develops recommended solutions for odour impact reduction. Assessment adheres to both USA and European standards (EN13725).
Why an Environmental Odour Impact Assessment?
- Determine the odour levels (frequency, duration, concentration) at sensitive receptors
- Identify and rank odour sources
- Differentiate the odour impact of one plant from neighboring plants
- Implement solutions for odour impact reduction
- Determine efficiency of installed odour control technologies
An odour assessment of a refinery must utilize field odour patrol using field olfactometry and analyzers, source sampling with a laboratory analysis, and dispersion modeling
Odour Analysis Report
- The total impact of the plant on the residents
- Baseline ambient odour levels (impact of all plants on the residents)
- Identification and contribution of all sources
- Ranking of all sources based on their odour contribution
- Effects of process events on odour impact
- Efficiency of current odour control plants
- Required efficiency of future odour mitigation solutions

Benefits of Field Odour Patrol
Source Identification
Determining the sources that need to be sampled and measured using olfactometric laboratories
Baseline Study
Assess the facility’s emission at it’s boundary, and any sensitive receptors such as neighboring residents or impacted employees
Contribution Study
Assess and research the impact of any other nearby companies that may be contributing to your facility’s odour
Quality Assurance
Assess the accuracy of predicted impact from dispersion model and source sampling through comparing results to real measured field data
Process Events
Determine the effects of any process events on the odour impact of the facility – for instance, flaring
Total Odour Understanding
It is important to experience all aspects of the facility and it’s industrial ecosystem in order to fully capture and understand the impact
