Ambient Dust Monitoring
AQMSGROUP specializes in designing, manufacturing, installing, and maintaining advanced continuous emission dust monitoring equipment. Utilizing several technologies including Light scatter, E-BAM Environmental Beta Attenuation Mass Monitor or tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) is an instrument used for real-time detection of aerosol particles by measuring their mass concentration.
Our dust monitors deliver real-time measurements of dust and particulate.
Our systems provide accurate, reliable data, whether its boundary dust monitoring for a study to Australian standard dust monitor, we have you covered:
-
- Comply with government regulations
- Minimize emission exceedances
- Protect their workforce and surrounding communities
- Limit environmental impact
- High volume dust sampling (HiVol)
- Email and Txt alerts
Static Dust Deposition gauges should be sampled according to the following standards:
-
- AS3580.10.1 Determination of particulates- Deposited Matter-Gravimetric method.
- AS3580.1.1 Methods for sampling and analysis of ambient air Part 1.1 Guide to siting air monitoring equipment
Dust Deposition Monitoring : Ensuring Accurate Environmental Compliance.
AQMS Group offers comprehensive dust deposition monitoring services to measure and analyze localized dust levels in ambient air. Utilizing both Dust Deposition Standard Gauges and Directional Gauges, our monitoring services help industries track the amount of particulate matter settling from the air. This data is critical for ensuring regulatory compliance, safeguarding public health, and improving sustainability practices.
Our Dust Deposition Sampling and Analysis
The process of dust deposition monitoring involves collecting particles that settle from ambient air over a given period. For accurate results, we utilize two different sampling periods:
- 30 days (April – October)
- 14 days (November – March)
Our gauges capture not only particles but also any rainwater that may accumulate, allowing us to calculate the mass deposition rate of deposited matter. From this data, we can determine the mass of total solids, including Insoluble Solids and Soluble Solids, to give a complete picture of dust deposition.
NATA Accredited Laboratories for Dust Deposition Analysis
At AQMS Group, we pride ourselves on our NATA-accredited laboratories for the sampling and analysis of dust deposition. We adhere to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3580.10.1:2016 for particulate matter analysis, which includes the Gravimetric Method for determining deposited matter.
For Directional Dust Deposition Testing, we also follow the AS 2724.5-1987 standards.
Industries and Activities Requiring Dust Deposition Monitoring
Certain activities and industries generate dust that requires careful monitoring. Common sources include:
- Road and construction sites
- Industrial operations
- Remediation works
- Agricultural areas
- Landfills in urban areas
- Mining operations
By using our dust deposition gauges and comprehensive sampling methods, AQMS Group helps you track and manage dust emissions to meet environmental standards and improve air quality.
Comprehensive Dust Monitoring Services from AQMS Group
We provide an end-to-end solution for dust deposition monitoring. From supplying and setting up dust deposition gauges to conducting thorough sampling and analysis, AQMS Group handles all aspects of your monitoring program. Our reports are detailed, accurate, and comply with all relevant Australian standards.
Additionally, we offer High Volume Air Sampling for larger-scale monitoring programs to further enhance dust control and environmental management strategies.
Beyond regulatory compliance, our dust monitors offer valuable insights into plant performance, assist in calculating emissions inventories, and support the compilation of environmental impact assessments. With AQMSGROUP, you can ensure not only compliance but also enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
At AQMSGROUP we supply a range of economical, Nephelometer – forward light scattering based optical particle monitors for the monitoring and recording of PM2.5 and PM10 dust fractions, with the option for PM1, PM4.25 and TSP to meet your specific needs.
Designed to withstand various weather conditions, the monitor is housed in a weather resistant enclosure ideal for round the clock continuous outdoor monitoring.
Datalogging capacity at a minimum of 365 days at one-minute intervals with built-in log and forward capability to locally store the data in the event of a network disruption.
Integrating seamlessly with a web-based portal for remote data access, this secure data portal enables users to access monitoring logs, set customisable alerts, manage monitoring reports and more. The web-service application is accessible on both desktop PC and mobile smart devices.
Various power, mounting options, and additional accessories such as the AQMSGROUP Scientific Solar Battery Solution make the system a versatile choice for any dust monitoring application.
Key Features
TSP, PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 measurements (TSP comes standard, the others are options)
Instruments employs a unique combination of light extinction and light scatter to accurately analyse individual airborne particles. This allows the instrument to simultaneously measure all the PM size fractions with great accuracy.
Unlike fan-based samplers, our units have a proper pump, air filter, and accurate flow controller to generate a stable sample airflow. It also generates recirculated clean air to keep its optics away from dust and dirt contamination. Its proprietary long-life pump uses an ultrasonic mechanism and is virtually noiseless. The filter capsule is interchangeable and can be sent for material analysis of the collected dust.
To remove water droplets when sampling in damp or misty conditions, the dust monitor has a temperature-controlled heated inlet built in. The user can adjust the sample temperature set point. Or, if an ambient T & RH probe is fitted, the sample flow can be held at constant humidity.
MCERTS- approved for measurements
Ambient air monitoring, using real time dust measuring t - PM10, PM2.5, and TSP sensors, tracks pollutant levels and trends. This ensures air quality assessment, regulatory compliance, and helps manage dust pollution in various environments.
Explore our air quality monitoring solutions, offering precise, real-time measurement of airborne pollutants. Our Air Quality Analyser reliably detects trace compounds, including particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3).
Vibration monitoring is essential for ensuring safety, reliability, and performance across industrial, construction, and infrastructure settings. By continuously or periodically measuring vibrations, it detects potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, downtime, and accidents.
Environmental monitoring weather stations, using techniques such as wind speed and direction measurement, temperature monitoring, and ceilometer data, help meet compliance requirements by providing crucial weather and air quality data for Development Approvals and Licences to Operate.
Class 1 Ambient noise monitoring is the process of measuring and analyzing the levels of noise in an environment to understand the sources, patterns, and impact of noise on both human health and the surrounding environment.
Australian standards HiVol particulate sampler enables remote, unattended sampling of PM2.5, PM10, or TSP, providing accurate data across urban air quality networks for effective monitoring and analysis of particulate pollution. AS/NZS 3580.9.3
