Air quality monitoring in the industrial sector

Compliance with environmental legislation and ESG norms poses a significant challenge for many industries today. Environmental regulations are becoming increasingly strict, and companies must demonstrate not only adherence to these standards but also a commitment to sustainable and socially responsible practices. Failure to comply can lead to substantial financial penalties, loss of market trust, and long-term reputational damage. Furthermore, ESG norms pressure companies to integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into their corporate strategies, necessitating rigorous monitoring and reporting of their performance in these areas.

 

Legal and corporate concerns are justified by the significant negative impact industries can have on the environment and public health if pollutant emissions, such as volatile organic compounds, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and particulate matter, are not effectively monitored and controlled.

 

On the other hand, industries still face numerous challenges in monitoring and controlling air quality, from integrating monitoring systems with existing infrastructure to ensuring the durability of equipment in extreme industrial conditions and identifying technology suited to monitor relevant types of parameters.

Oizom’ AQBot Solution

 

In this context, air quality monitoring solutions like AQBot from Oizom play a crucial role in facilitating compliance, enabling organizations to collect accurate data on their emissions, quickly identify areas for improvement, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.

 

AQBot is a real-time air quality monitoring system designed for industrial applications, specialized in measuring a single parameter but with extended automation capabilities. With a wide range of air quality parameters available, including volatile organic compounds (TVOC), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (CH2O), or particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100), AQBot is an extremely efficient and cost-effective solution compared to multi-parameter monitors for industrial sectors where monitoring of a single gas or element is necessary. Customized to monitor only what is essential, AQBot offers substantial savings to the industry by eliminating the need to invest in redundant capacities.

 

AQBot has applications in various industrial sectors, providing the specific monitoring capability needed for each domain.

  • Pulp and paper industry: H2S, TVOC, CO2, and CH3SH
  • Textile industry: NO, TVOC, Cl2, PM
  • Leather industry: H2S, NH3, and TVOC, PM, Cl2
  • Cement industry: CO, NO2, CO2, PM
  • Thermal power plants: CO, NO, CO2, PM
  • Food and beverage industry: Cl2, NH3, CO2
  • Fish, meat, and dairy processing: H2S, NO, TVOC, NH3, CH4 & CH3SH
  • Mining industry, wastewater treatment, and other sectors: SO2 & NO2, CH4, PM, CH3SH, noise

 

Designed to withstand extreme industrial conditions, AQBot stands out for its easy integration options with existing infrastructure. Moreover, for maximum flexibility, users can access data, configure networks and sensors through the Envizom software without the need for an internet connection.
