Case Study: Urban Utilities reduces odour impacts and operational risk with Envirosuite

Urban Utilities reduces odour control costs and shortens emissions investigations with Envirosuite

Urban Utilities, a Queensland government statutory authority, faced a significant challenge managing odour emissions from its Brisbane sewage treatment plant, which was located adjacent to a new cruise ship terminal. To avoid regulatory consequences and negative publicity from odour impacts, they partnered with Envirosuite to implement a solution using the EVS Omnis platform for hyperlocal weather forecasting and air emission modelling.

Envirosuite's solution provided dynamic odour prediction and assessment, allowing Urban Utilities to optimize operations and control methods. The results included avoiding financial penalties, reducing odour control costs, and shortening investigation times for emissions events. The Envirosuite platform also provided scientifically robust data for regulatory enquiries and digitized manual data collection processes.
