Corrosion from air: monitoring air quality for the gases that do the damage

Corrosion from air: monitoring air quality for the gases that do the damage

06-Sep-2024Data centres | H2S | H2S monitoring | Industrial | Industrial monitoring | Landfill | Volcanic emissions | Waste management | Waste water

The sulphur-based gases sulphur dioxide (SO2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) are known for the impact they can have on metals. AQMesh monitors either or both, from waste processing sites to data centres and volcanic regions.

H2S: Can you track it before you smell it?

H2S: Can you track it before you smell it?

Hydrogen sulphide around and – even worse – escaping from a site can be a problem. As well as presenting a safety concern, H2S is often a nuisance odour. Detection and quantification at very low levels allows the source of the gas to be tracked down and addressed, or real-time continuous readings from around the site can demonstrate compliance with local restrictions.

Measuring particulate matter (PM) accurately comes with a number of challenges, including effects from humidity and differing particle sizes. Technological considerations are also a factor, such as variable sample flow rates and the physical size and diameter of the sample path, which could affect the number of particles able to be measured.

Each time we think we have found a spectacularly remote air quality monitoring location, an even more inaccessible spot is reported by one of our users. Full-day trips to visit a location have now been beaten by customers who need to charter a plane to reach them. So, remote diagnostics and support are very important.
