To monitor the particle concentration in the ambient air of silos, conveyor lines and adjacent areas, plant managers are looking for a safe and maintenance-free way to detect dust leaks oftenly linked to process malfunctions.

Due to the degree of dust contamination in these parts of the plant and the cleaning and maintenance efforts required, optical techniques are not an option. The monitoring device is expected to accurately detect limit values and the exceedance of predefined values are to be quickly reported to the control room. This is for obvious health reasons, but also to limit the risk of explosion in the event of a malfunction leading to an increase in the level of particles in the air.

If the preset limit values are exceeded, AirSafe 2 sends a signal to the control room which can trigger the appropriate measures. An EX version is available for use in explosive areas, AirSafe being certified for ATEX Zone 1 and Ex zone 21

• Fast response of the sensor in case of exceeding limit levels
• Improvement of plant security and prevention of plant damages
• Easy monitoring of remote system components
• Prevent hazardous exposure of employees
• Prevents dust accumulation that could increase the risk of explosion
• Reduces cleaning costs by lowering the amount of dust that is usually deposited on floors and machines
• Reduction in the frequency of machine breakdowns and malfunctions due to dust deposits.

Odor emissions are mainly caused by diffusion from surfaces exposed to the atmosphere such as landfills, waste deposits, sewage, ponds, tanks, buildings, or from leaking pipes or equipment.

The monitoring of gas pollutants and particulates in ambient air aims at preventing complaints from the neighbourhood, protecting workers and neighbours’ health, and ensuring an efficient and environmentally friendly operation of the site.

ENVEA offers turnkey solutions for real-time on-site air quality monitoring. They include fixed stations and mobile labs featuring a full range of eco-designed, connected reference analyzers that are certified and approved by major labs and organizations around the world. ENVEA produces a full range of internationally certified and approved air quality monitors required when monitoring is being used for the assessment.

Worldwide Governments in their respective regions formulated different regulations to curb the level of air pollution originated from industrial areas. Thus, in many countries such as India, Egypt, etc. industries such as oil & gas, fertilizer plants, pharmaceutical or chemical plants, airports, cement industry, as well as power generation and many others  have to comply with such regulations with deployment of air quality monitors to control and monitor the level of pollutants.

• Identification of pollution sources
• Quick turnaround and implementation of countermeasures in case of detected on-site pollution thanks to multi-location and real-time monitoring of ambient air
• Protection of workers and neighbours’ health
• Increased plant efficiency
• Compliance with environmental regulations
