    - 2 Presentation of the technique
    At least one object of the invention is achieved with, according to a first aspect of the invention, a system for determining a level of nuisance generated by an industrial installation.
    The system according to the invention comprises at least one aerial drone, said aerial drone being controllable to move to a measurement point above, or near, the industrial installation, and to determine, at the measurement point, at at least one level of a quantity generating said nuisance, by means of at least one sensor fitted to said aerial drone.
    By quantity, in the context of the present invention, is meant physical quantity and / or chemical quantity and / or biological quantity.
    By near the industrial plant is meant within a radius of about 5 km.
    The system according to the invention further comprises a processing unit configured to determine the level of nuisance from the level of the quantity detected.
    The implementation of an aerial drone reduces the number of sensors to be installed.
    In addition, the system makes it possible to be able to measure nuisances across an entire site, or even at a predetermined location in advance.
    The aerial drone can be temporarily moved to a measurement point at which the installation of a fixed sensor is not possible, or at least at which level the installation of a fixed sensor would generate high maintenance costs for the made, in particular, of the necessary short-term replacement of said fixed sensor. In addition, the aerial drone after having determined a nuisance level at a first measurement point can move to a second measurement point in order to determine a nuisance level there at the second measurement point. Thus, the determination system according to the invention makes it possible to minimize the investment in number of sensors, and thus the cost of maintaining the sensors.
    By industrial installation, the invention relates, for example, to installations for treating municipal and industrial water and waste, such as
    -3dumps - CET, sorting centers, incinerators, composting plants, which are sources of odor and / or noise pollution, polluting gases, sources of greenhouse effect and / or dangerous. Any other industrial installation which is a source of odor and / or noise pollution is potentially concerned.
    By nuisance generated, we mean, for example, odor and / or sound pollution, the presence of polluting gases, a source of greenhouse effect, or even the presence of dangerous elements.
    The system comprises at least one aerial drone, that is to say one or more aerial drones.
    The aerial drone can be intrinsically or extrinsically powered as part of an external power supply.
    The aerial drone can be controlled remotely, using a wired or wireless link.
    The processing unit can equip the industrial installation or be located at a distance from said industrial installation or even be carried on the aerial drone.
    The aerial drone can include several sensors, possibly of different types. For example, an aerial drone can include several sensors of different sizes.
    The following sensors are envisaged, without limitation: ammonia sensor (NH3), mercaptans sensor (RSH), H2S sensor, volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor, noise sensor (sound level meter), anemometer, nose electronic (electronic noses are systems which detect and measure odorous chemical compounds and by data processing make it possible to quantify the level of odor), multisensors making it possible to determine the concentrations of odorous pollutants and to calculate the concentration in units of odor, other types, such as NO2, SO2, CO, NOx.
    The system according to the invention may include means of transmission, wired or wireless, of the level of the sensed quantity, intended for the processing unit.
    The system according to the invention may include means for regulating the nuisance generated by the industrial installation, subject to the determined level of nuisance. The regulation means can, for example, be a solenoid valve whose control is controlled.
    At least one sensor can be an anemometer. Knowledge of the direction, direction and intensity of the wind at the measurement point can be used to refine forecasts relating to the transport of the nuisance generated by the industrial installation.
    The at least one sensor can be a sound sensor, typically a microphone or sound level meter. The system according to the invention can then make it possible to determine a level of noise pollution.
    The at least one sensor can be a gas concentration sensor. The system according to the invention can then make it possible to determine a level of odor nuisance.
    At least one aerial drone can be equipped with a pole arranged to place the sensor at a distance from said aerial drone. This pole can then make it possible to minimize the influence of the presence of the aerial drone on the determined level of the size. This pole can be useful when it is desired to reduce the influence of the rotation of propellers of the aerial drone on a wind measurement carried out by an anemometer, on a sound measurement carried out by a sound sensor, on a temperature measurement carried out by a temperature sensor, thermometer.
    Preferably, the system according to the invention comprises wireless communication means which equip the aerial drone and the industrial installation and which are configured to establish wireless communication between the aerial drone and the industrial installation.
    According to one embodiment, the aerial drone comprises a transmission unit configured to receive movement commands. The transmission unit can be configured to transmit the level of the quantity detected to the processing unit.
    Advantageously, movement commands intended for the controllable aerial drone and the level of the magnitude can be transmitted according to a wireless protocol, for example according to the WiFi protocol.
    The system according to the invention may include communication relays, wired or not, for transmitting movement commands to the aerial drone and / or the level of the quantity.
    According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for determining a level of nuisance generated by an industrial installation, implemented in a determination system according to the first aspect of the invention, or one or several of its improvements, including the stages of:
    - control of at least one aerial drone equipped with at least one sensor of a magnitude generating said at least one nuisance, along a trajectory leading to a measurement point,
    - determination, by said sensor, of a level of said quantity at the measurement point,
    - determination, by a processing unit of the system, of said nuisance level from said value of said quantity.
    Several determinations by the at least one sensor can be carried out during the same flight of the at least one aerial drone.
    Several commands can be carried out during the same flight of at least one aerial drone.
    The measuring point can be located at the property boundary of the industrial installation. By property limit, this description refers to any point located on the border, both horizontal and vertical, separating the property comprising the industrial installation from the exterior of said property.
    According to a particular feature of the process according to the invention, the control and / or determination steps can be carried out at regular intervals.
    Preferably, the trajectory of the at least one aerial drone can fall within a predetermined overflight zone of the industrial installation. The overflight area can be determined from regulations applicable at the level of the industrial installation. The overflight area can be determined so that
    -6limit the exposure of personnel from the industrial zone to the movement of at least one aerial drone.
    Advantageously, the method according to the invention comprises a step of regulating the nuisance generated by the industrial installation from the determined nuisance level. For example, a valve can be actuated by an operator based on knowledge of the determined nuisance level. When a regulating means comprises a means for controlling said regulating means, for example when it is a solenoid valve, the regulating step may include a servo of the regulating means.
    The method according to the invention may include a step of predicting the spatial evolution of the nuisance, and more particularly the intensity of the nuisance, from a model receiving as input the determined nuisance level.
    The step of predicting spatial evolution can include a registration of the model by the determined level of nuisance. Determining a nuisance level can thus improve the prediction of the spatial evolution of the nuisance.
    According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a computer program product, downloadable from a communication network and / or stored on a medium readable by computer and / or executable by a microprocessor, characterized in that it comprises program code instructions for implementing a method for determining a level of nuisance generated by an industrial installation according to the first aspect of the invention, or one or more of its improvements.
    According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided an industrial installation equipped with a measurement system according to the second aspect of the invention, or one or more of its improvements.
    The industrial installation can be equipped with the processing unit configured to determine the level of nuisance from the level of the quantity detected.
    - 7 Description of the figures
    Other particularities and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description of implementation and non-limiting embodiment, with regard to the appended figures in which:
    - Figure 1 illustrates a first embodiment of a system according to the invention.
    Description of the invention
    Since this embodiment is in no way limitative, it will be possible in particular to produce variants of the invention comprising only a selection of characteristics described below, as described or generalized, isolated from the other characteristics described, if this selection of characteristics is sufficient to confer a technical advantage or to differentiate the invention from the state of the art.
    With reference to FIG. 1, an embodiment of a system 100 for determining a level of nuisance generated by an industrial installation 200 is illustrated. In the example illustrated, the nuisance is olfactory.
    System 100 includes:
    - an aerial drone 300,
    - a processing unit 400 equipping the industrial installation 200,
    - a transmission unit 402 equipping the industrial installation 200.
    The aerial drone 300 comprises a transmission unit 302 configured to receive movement commands, coming from the transmission unit 402. The aerial drone 300 is controllable to move to a measurement point above, or to proximity to the industrial facility 200.
    The aerial drone 300 has two sensors, 304 and 306, respectively an anemometer 304 and a gas concentration sensor 306. The aerial drone 300 is configured to determine, at the point of measurement, a level of gas concentration generating the nuisance, olfactory in the example shown.
    The transmission unit 302 is further configured to transmit the level of the quantity captured to the processing unit, via the transmission unit 302, as well as the direction, direction and intensity of the wind picked up by
    The anemometer 304. These data are received by the processing unit 400 via the transmission unit 402.
    The data collected in flight is transferred, in whole or in part during the flight, via radio or wifi communication or any other wireless communication mode.
    The aerial drone 300 can be ordered to pass to different strategic places of the industrial installation, for example:
    - at the level of main sources of nuisance emissions (for example at the level of sludge storage in a WWTP, the entry to the pre-treatment room, the sludge thickener, the outlet chimney of the deodorization system, etc. .),
    - at the property line,
    - in areas close to homes,
    - at altitude in order to measure the fate of the olfactory molecules once diffused.
    The aerial drone 300 can be ordered to have several route paths in order, for example, to pass through places with high concentrations of gas and then through places with low concentration of pollutants.
    The aerial drone 300 can be controlled to position itself in hovering flight at different points of the route for the time necessary for a stable and reliable measurement of the various sensors, for a duration ranging from the second to the minute for example.
    To improve the quality of the measurement, the aerial drone 300 is equipped with a pole arranged to place the sensors 304 and 306 at a distance from said aerial drone.
    Once its route has been completed, the aerial drone reaches a base (not shown) in order to recharge its battery (not shown) in order to be able to complete the next ordered route,
    The processing unit 400 is configured to determine the level of nuisance from the level of said sensed quantity.
    -9 From the magnitude detected, an operator can take preventive or corrective actions in order to minimize the olfactory impact of the industrial installation. These actions can for example be the following:
    shift odorous maintenance interventions, optimize odor treatment on the site (for example by adapting reagent rates, modifying flow rates entering deodorization), modifying ventilation systems, setting up an odor dispersion system, close the premises, delay the intervention of service providers, modify the operation of an industrial installation process.
    When the industrial facility is equipped with an odor control tool that uses the data received from the aerial drone to model and simulate the concentrations of odorous molecules over time, these actions can be automated using the odor control tool. The odor control prediction tool may include resetting the model by the level of nuisance determined.
    The route of the aerial drone can be automatically defined from the odor map determined by the control tool.
    For example, when the concentration of pollutants at the outlet of a chimney of deodorization towers is greater than a set point, the air flow entering deodorization can be automatically increased (or the rate of treatment with reactants). Thus, the industrial installation can be equipped with means for regulating the nuisance generated, subject to the level of nuisance determined.
    According to a complementary use, the system according to the invention can be implemented with the aim of solving operating problems of the industrial installation.
    The aerial drone can, for example, be sent to critical locations where a malfunction is suspected, for example at a bearing station or a leak on a building.
    - 10The aerial drone can be ordered to be positioned for a few minutes at the outlet of the chimney from the deodorization towers in order to measure whether they are working well and identify a possible malfunction. Depending on the data collected, the operator can take the necessary corrective measures.
    This is difficult to achieve with fixed sensors because the exit from the chimney is a difficult place to access. Their installation would subject them to difficult conditions (humidity for example) which make their service life and their reliability of measurement low.
    According to yet another use, the system according to the invention can be implemented for the control of processing guarantees during the construction of an industrial installation. Indeed, the manufacturer of an industrial installation must comply with property boundary guarantees in terms of odor concentration and noise level. These are differences in values between the initial level (without the industrial installation) and the level observed during the operation of the industrial installation. It is therefore necessary to have a good knowledge of the initial level in order to clearly distinguish the odors or noises coming from the new industrial installation from those coming from the existing environment. The invention makes it possible to produce a complete initial map by flying over and taking a large number of measurements on the site allowing a mapping of the area which is not possible with fixed sensors. This same diagnosis is then made after the construction of the industrial facility.
    Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described and numerous modifications can be made to these examples without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, the different characteristics, forms, variants and embodiments of the invention can be associated with each other in various combinations as long as they are not incompatible or mutually exclusive of each other.
