And two more CEMS Shelters are on their way to our client’s site! We’re excited to support the industrial community with high-performance Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems, helping to ensure a cleaner, greener future. Safe travels to these advanced CEMS!

In the fight against climate change and the battle to control pollution, Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) have emerged as essential tools. These sophisticated systems provide real-time data on emissions, playing a pivotal role in environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance.

AquaGas Pty Ltd, a trailblazer in environmental monitoring, is set to redefine air quality analysis with its recent acquisition of a reference project in New South Wales. The cornerstone of this pioneering initiative is the deployment of the ProCeas AIR, an advanced air quality analyser renowned for its precision and versatility. Enhanced by an 8-stream multiplexer, this state-of-the-art technology will play a pivotal role in simultaneously scanning greenhouse gas concentrations, including CH4, CO2, NH3, H2, N2O, and H2O, across the largest animal respiratory chambers facility ever built in Australia.

Let’s explore the technical specifications of Ap2e DURAG ProCeas AIR, with a particular focus on its ability to measure CH4, CO2, NH3, H2, N2O, and H2O in conjunction with the 8-stream multiplexer.

This adaptability guarantees a thorough comprehension of the air quality within the facility, with unparalleled short response times and lower detection Limit.

In the context of this project, the ProCeas AIR’s 8-stream multiplexer, combined with its ability to measure ppb top ppm level of CH4, CO2, NH3, H2, N2O, and H2O, positions our client to conduct comprehensive and simultaneous analysis across diverse respiratory chambers. This capability aligns seamlessly with the project’s goals of achieving a nuanced understanding of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.These analyses will offer a comprehensive understanding of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock worldwide.

As AquaGas pioneers the use of the ProCeas AIR with an 8-stream multiplexer, this collaboration sets the stage for future advancements in GHG and environmental monitoring while our client remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation to contribute significantly to the field of air quality analysis and environmental research.

The integration of the ProCeas AIR in this NSW facility underscores AquaGas Pty Ltd’s commitment to excellence in environmental monitoring. This powerful combination of advanced technologies, multiplexing capabilities, and the ability to measure CH4, CO2, NH3, H2, N2O, and H2O positions AquaGas as a leader in air quality analysis, offering unparalleled insights into greenhouse gas concentrations across diverse facilities to establish accurate GHG emissions inventory. As AquaGas continues to lead in cutting-edge solutions, the ProCeas AIR multistream stands as a testament to the company’s dedication to precision, innovation, and sustainable environmental practices.

When Peracetic Acid (PAA) is employed as a disinfectant in your protein processing operations, it is crucial to conduct PAA level monitoring in all areas where the chemical might be found. This includes spaces such as PAA storage areas, spray bars, and dip tanks on the plant floor.

PAA storage areas hold the highest PAA volume and concentration in protein processing facilities. Although not continuously manned by workers, the frequent refilling or replacement of sizeable PAA totes poses risks to workers and heightens the potential for chemical leaks. This increases the likelihood of exceeding safe exposure limits. PAA totes are vulnerable to leaks and are often stored in confined spaces, leading to hazardous levels of toxic vapour in the air.

The Steri-Trac Series offers continuous monitoring for high-risk areas. These fixed units, installed inside storage rooms, promptly alert in case of leaks. Ensuring safety near storage totes, Steri-Trac calculates 15-minute Time Weighted Average (TWA) levels, issuing alarms for potential hazards. External displays show real-time readings, confirming safety before entry. Additionally, Steri-Trac aids PAA operations by recording data to identify reading trends.

After transitioning from storage to the plant floor, the majority of facility workers face direct exposure to toxic PAA. Contact can happen through inhalation or direct touch, potentially leading to irritation in the eyes, nose, throat, skin, and respiratory problems. This underlines the significance of monitoring worker PAA exposure, overseen by regulatory bodies such as OSHA and USDA, due to associated health risks.

ChemDAQ’s SafeCide Series offers a solution for ensuring compliance and worker safety. This portable device can be used on the plant floor to collect real-time readings, detect leaks, and identify problem areas. The newly introduced 2.1 software further enhances user experience and expands safety personnel capabilities. To ensure comprehensive monitoring, it’s advisable to deploy multiple SafeCide units across various areas.

ChemDAQ is a leading provider of continuous monitoring solutions for industries using EtO, H₂O₂, and PAA. With over 600 satisfied customers worldwide, their state-of-the-art monitoring systems have helped businesses ensure workplace safety and compliance with regulatory standards.

In industries where antimicrobial chemicals like Ethylene Oxide, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Peracetic Acid are integral to processing operations, safeguarding worker health from chemical vapour exposure is a non-negotiable responsibility.

Implementing a reliable chemical vapour monitoring system is not just a regulatory requirement but a moral obligation for businesses. With AquaGas expertise and state-of-the-art monitoring solutions, industries can effectively protect their workers, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain a safe and productive work environment.

If your business utilizes these antimicrobial chemicals, it’s time to consider how a Chemical Vapour Monitoring system can be the cornerstone of your commitment to worker safety and well-being.

Situated in northern Paris, the waste-to-energy plant, named the “L’étoile Verte” or “Green Star” waste recovery facility, started its activity in 1919 in an industrial zone that is now surrounded by residential developments, posing several challenges, particularly related to odour issues.

To address this concern, Ellona has been commissioned to set up an intelligent and continuous monitoring system for odour and gases. This proactive approach aims to pinpoint the sources of odours accurately, enabling the implementation of data-driven improvement measures.
