What SmartCompost is

SmartCompost is a Brazilian continuous environmental monitoring company that measures odor and dust at the same point: odorant gases (NH₃, H₂S, CH₄, TVOC and CO₂) and particulate matter in four fractions (PM1, PM2.5, PM4 and PM10), with a local weather station built in. Readings run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and every measurement is stored with date, time, concentration and wind condition, building an auditable history for environmental permitting, for answering a neighbor complaint, and for verifying how well control systems are working. In business since 2019, the company monitors more than 8 plants and processes over 350,000 readings a month.

The problem

Environmental management should not run on luck

Five situations every plant environmental manager has lived.

01

A neighbor complains and you have no data to answer with

Without a continuous record there is no way to contest a notice. Every complaint that goes unanswered on paper raises the odds of an enforcement action.

02

A one-off olfactometry panel is expensive and captures a single moment

One panel does not represent the full process cycle. The peaks happen between visits — and go unrecorded.

03

The agency wants a report, but in what form?

Environmental agencies ask for technical documentation of emissions. Without a system, that report is manual, expensive and inconsistent.

04

Emission peaks arrive without warning

The thermophilic phase of a windrow drives TVOC and NH₃ peaks. With no monitoring, you find out from the neighbors' noses.

05

A sensor stopped and you only find out later

A comms failure, a dead battery or an obstruction can leave weeks unrecorded. Gaps in the history undermine the regulatory defense.

SmartCompost solves all five at once

Continuous monitoring, automatic reports, a 7-day forecast and a NetHealth Score for the infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

What buyers ask before they sign

What does SmartCompost do?

SmartCompost is a Brazilian continuous environmental monitoring company. We install fixed measurement points that read odorant gases and particulate matter 24 hours a day, with a local weather station built in, and we deliver an odor dispersion map, early alerts and an auditable history. The company has been in business since 2019, monitors more than 8 plants and processes over 350,000 readings a month.

Which gases and which particulate fractions does SmartCompost measure?

We measure NH₃ (ammonia), H₂S (hydrogen sulfide), CH₄ (methane), TVOC and CO₂; at animal protein plants, also mercaptans and trimethylamine (TMA), and at wastewater treatment plants, DMS and DMDS. Particulate matter is measured in four fractions — PM1, PM2.5, PM4 and PM10 — on the same node that reads gas, alongside wind speed and direction. That combination in a single point is the main technical difference of the solution.

What does continuous monitoring from SmartCompost cost?

We do not publish a price list, because cost depends on the number of points, the parameters measured, the site layout and the level of reporting the environmental agency requires. Every proposal is built from a technical conversation about the operation. Get in touch and we will come back with a solution design and the investment that goes with it.

How many measurement points does an operation need?

It depends on the area, the number of sources and the distance to sensitive receptors. As a practical reference: composting facilities and wastewater treatment plants usually run 3 to 8 points; rendering plants and RDF facilities, 4 to 10; landfills, 5 to 15, because of the perimeter length and the moving working face. The final number comes out of the site study, not a fixed rule.

Does SmartCompost serve operations beyond composting?

Yes. Beyond composting, we serve wastewater treatment plants, landfills, rendering and animal protein plants, RDF production units, and industrial sites with odor emissions at the property line. The gas set is matched to the process — mercaptans and TMA in animal protein, DMS and DMDS at wastewater plants, CH₄ and H₂S at landfills — and particulate matter is measured in every case.
