How Can We Help?
Scentroid has Developed a Unique Approach to Wastewater Treatment Plant Air Quality and Odour Management!
The combination of stationary monitoring, drone-based mobile monitoring, and personal safety device monitoring provides a comprehensive 3 tiered approach to air quality monitoring in wastewater treatment plants.
Stationary monitoring devices provide continuous monitoring of air quality in and around your facility, providing valuable data on the overall level and distribution of pollution. Drone-based mobile monitoring devices offer an additional layer of monitoring, enabling the detection of hot-spots and hard-to-reach areas, along with providing more granular data on the spatial and temporal patterns of air pollution. Personal safety monitoring devices provide real-time data on worker exposure levels, ensuring individual workers are protected from potential health hazards.
Wastewater Treatment Facility Full Monitoring Program:
Stationary Equipment
Scentroid engineers, builds, and services our own line of powerful air quality monitors
Odour Patrol
A team that monitors a predefined optimized walkable route with pre-set stopping points
Unknown Source Triangulation
Scentroid employs powerful AI within SIMS3 to identify and tag previously unknown sources
Odour Complaint Justification
Our cloud-based software analyzes complaint data and determines if they were attributed to your facility.
Odour Complaint Analysis
a deep dive into what may have caused an odour complaint and analyzing it's contributing sources
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 wastewater facility requires approximately 4-5 air quality monitorind 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.

Stationary Equipment
Wastewater treatment facilities can generate a range of potentially harmful air pollutants, such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To monitor your plant, Scentroid recommends our CTair and our Scentinal stationary continuous air quality monitors.
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
Wastewater Treatment Plant 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.

SIMS3: Sensor Information Management System
AI-Based Pollution Monitoring Suite
SIMS3 sensor information management software, is our all-inclusive platform 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.
SIMS3 Event Analytics
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.
Export Reports
The SIMS3 reporting module provides you with the tools you need to make informed decisions regarding your monitoring projects. At the click of a button, this document generates averages as well as thorough individual sensor reports. Users can schedule weekly, monthly, or annual reports emailed directly to them once generated!
Other Scentroid Services
Consultation
Seek advice from our odour monitor experts and environmental consultants to help you improve the accuracy and reliability of your monitoring projects.
Perimeter Monitoring
We can assist with continuously monitoring the air quality around the boundary of your facility. This is typically used in settings where emissions and pollutants may potentially affect a community.
Aerial Monitoring
Air quality mapping, model verification, and analysis of potentially dangerous sites have all now been made possible. While in flight, built-in chemical sensors can provide remote monitoring.
