The Department of Environment is a governmental organisation of Iran established in 1956. It is responsible for formulating policies that help maintain and secure the country’s Air quality within safe breathing standards. The Behran oil company’s Oil refinery in the Tehran province hosts several workers daily. Monitoring the hazardous gaseous levels that could threaten their health is essential.

The Department of Environment, Iran, was not equipped with an air quality monitoring system that notified them of hazardous gases and particulate matters around an Oil refinery in the Tehran Province. To optimize the safety and security of the workers in the Behran Oil Company’s Oil refinery, detecting odours and harmful gases like nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and other Particulate Matters like PM2.5, PM10 were necessary. In times of leakage or when the gaseous levels crossed the threshold level, the governmental body did not have an easy means to procure the information and help warn the workers and the residents of the Tehran province of the same.

Oizom offered its patented “e-breathing technology”, Odosense, to the Department of Environment of Iran. It was a perfect solution as Oizom’s expertise lies in detecting and monitoring such harmful gases, as mentioned above. Odosense can help the governmental body get a smart, affordable and accurate reading of the gaseous levels in the air in real time. It can even be done remotely through various network connectivity options. This function is designed to help notify the authorities, workers and residents in and around the Oil refinery in case of any leakage or any presence of harmful substances in the air.

The Department of Environment, Iran, is now empowered to examine a real-time reading of the gaseous levels present in the air. The workers and residents in and around the Oil refinery can now rest assured that monitoring of the harmful gases is in process. With the help of Oizom’s air quality monitoring software, Envizom, the authorities can now enable intelligent alerts (email & SMS alerts) to be notified of any leakage, concentration of gas, or particulate matter. This ensures timely notification, and the authorities can adopt appropriate corrective actions that best suit the need.
