Abstract

   Currently, odour modelling maps represent a static photo on the impact assessment in P98,1h. This information allows the proper design of odour control measures, regarding emission reduction or better dispersion. However, this information is not enough to carry out an operational and proactive odour management, which is associated with the operations at installations.

   A digital platform like EnviroSuite is a technological product which provides a comprehensive solution, able to manage environmental risks in real and predictive time. The main objective of this platform is to improve operational efficiency in the industry, through business planning and environmental compliance approach.
