Scentroid's Approach for
Monitoring Air Quality in
Agriculture/Livestock Facility
In agricultural facilities, its vital that both indoor and outdoor air quality concerns are addressed. Indoor air contaminants can adversely affect the health of livestock and workers while outdoor pollutants can create complaints within the surrounding community, which may result in government intervention.
Scentroid provides a comprehensive source detection and monitoring program as part of our odour and indoor-outdoor air pollution management.
Stationary Equipment provide continuous monitoring of indoor and outdoor air quality in and around your facility, providing valuable data on the overall level and distribution of pollution.
Odour Patrol offers an additional layer of monitoring, enabling the detection of hot-spots and a large area in an effectively way, along with providing more granular data on the spatial and temporal patterns of air pollution.
Stationary Equipment
Scentroid’s CTmini and AQmini continuous monitoring of air quality in and around your facility, providing valuable data on the overall level and distribution of pollution.

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.
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 can pinpoint the location of unknown sources and determine their contribution to the complaints received
A typical Agriculture/Livestock facility requires approximately 4-6 air quality monitoring devices strategically stationed around the facility perimeter based on collected data.
Track the impact of upset conditions, odour filter maintenance, sludge deliveries and other facility events using our SIMS3 AI algorithm
Several facility processes may be directly contributing to errant odours. SIMS3 can track the emission rate of all odour sources using amient monitors and reverse dispersion modeling.
Once odour complaints are filed, SIMS3 will collect them and visually present them in a visual, mappable format. SIMS3 will also analyze the contributor of the source that led to the complaint.

How Can Scentroid Help with
Agriculture/Livestock Facility
Air Quality and Odour Complaints?
Once you activate Scentroid’s devices and enter our software SIMS3, we can use the collected data to determine whether an odour complaint is justified or not. We identify where the great odour sources come from and make justification for you. We also continuously monitoring to help facility maintain better air quality to avoid receiving complaints.
Odour Complaint Justification
Once Scentroid devices are all set and receive all data, 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.
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 Analysis
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.

SIMS3
Sensor Information Management System
SIMS3 sensor information management software, is our all-inclusive software used to view and analyze historical data, run diagnostics, make predictions, and configure various settings for your supported Scentroid device. It offers a complete and integrated suite for ambient air chemical analysis and odor management. SIMS3 can collect data from thousands of devices covering an entire area, using a unique and highly intuitive facility control system.
Powered by
Artificial Intelligence
SIMS3 transforms air quality monitoring and odor complaint management with the power of AI. Our user-friendly interface offers intuitive access to a range of features including pollutant threat assessment, air quality alerts, historical data analysis, sample tracking, plume detection, and complaint management, empowering users of all levels to conduct sophisticated data analytics effortlessly.
Mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with a computer simulation of a pollutant dispersion model
SIMS3 Analytics
View data in several formats including temporal view, statistical view, AQI Analysis view, and heat map.
Event Analytics
Take your analytic capabilities even further by analyzing your recorded events, event types, and overall event activity. In this module, you will be able to determine your most triggered event type and the days with the highest recorded activity.
Odor Complaint Analytics
This module allows you to easily determine the justification analytics of all recorded odor events. View which days have had the highest justified or not justified events, view the correlation matrix with contributing events, and see which processes may have a connection to all recorded odor complaints.
Temporal Mode
As shown here in temporal view, the user can Isolate or compare collected sensor data for any user-defined timeframe in an easy to read chart. Any event or event type that occured within the specified timeframe is also tracked.
Statistical Mode
Isolate and determine individual sensor reading trends with our detailed statistical analysis view. Data is presented as percentages vs concentration for quick reference. A data trend guide displays whether your tracked chemical readings are displaying an increase or decrease.
AQI Analysis
Based on established AQI Thresholds (either automatically generated or user-defined), view recorded AQI for any period of time. This module will also allow you to view how many times AQI exceeded these thresholds, and for how long (percentage).
Heat Map
View each individual sensor’s heat map within a user-defined period. Concentration is presented in this format to assist the user with visually defining patterns and trends. Heat map data is presented as date vs. time.
Export Reports
The SIMS3 reporting module provides you with the tools you need to make informed decisions regarding your monitoring projects.

A comprehensive site overview. Scentroid will formulate a sampling plan and, using a team of qualified engineers and technicians, take analytical and olfactometric measurements and samples at key locations. Scentroid analyzes samples on-site using portable analyzers and olfactometers before being shipped to a comprehensive analytical (ISO 17025) and stationary olfactometric laboratory (EN13725). After analyzing the samples the data goes through post-processing, and is compared against pertinent regulations, guidelines and standards. If exceedance of pollutants is found, Scentroid can recommend suitable approaches in order to fulfill environmental compliance. Optional: atmospheric dispersion modelling can be included in the environmental impact assessment.
Determine the severity and extent of the pollutant / odour emissions from your facility. Simulations are processed using the US-EPA designed and approved, AERMOD modelling suite.
