Challenge
The semiconductor manufacturer is facing challenges with potential odour emissions affecting nearby communities, causing resource-intensive investigations and occasional shutdowns. Unlike clear landfill emissions, these odours are harder to identify and are compounded by hazardous chemical emissions. The company is addressing these issues by adopting sustainable practices, using innovative emission monitoring technologies, maintaining transparency with the community, and ensuring effective management of emissions to retain their ISO 14064-1 certification.
Solution
In 2022, the semiconductor company partnered with Envirosuite to implement the Omnis platform for better odour management. By using a comprehensive monitoring network and real-time emissions data, they improved odour control and optimised activity scheduling. The collaboration also featured reverse trajectory modelling and complaint management integration, showcasing the company's dedication to sustainability and efficiency.
The landfill is also empowered with Envirosuite’s hyperlocal weather forecasting capabilities to schedule high-emissions, odour generating activities at low-risk times.
Result
The semiconductor manufacturer teamed up with Envirosuite, significantly improving odour emission management and compliance reporting, which boosted operational transparency. Thanks to Omnis, the facility now has full situational awareness and takes proactive steps to minimise emissions. They use odour forecast reports from hyperlocal weather forecasting to plan operations days ahead, reducing unplanned stoppages.
