In today’s complex world, there are a multitude of environmental concerns with respect to gas analysis, detection and monitoring. LumaSense Technologies addresses several of our world's most harmful and dangerous areas including air and soil pollution, agricultural gas monitoring , green house gases, landfill area monitoring, municipal & industrial incinerator monitoring, hazardous waste, environmental building hazards and emissions and refrigeration monitoring.
For example, the most important waste gases produced by incinerators are carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NO and NO2, together known as NOx). The major problem with carbon dioxide is through its contribution to the enhancement of Earth's greenhouse effect. (Andros 6512 with NO sensor)
Sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen are important in the development of urban smog. These gases also contribute to the deposition of acidifying substances from the atmosphere, for example, as acid rain. Within limits, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen can be removed from the waste gases of incinerators. Most rely on the reaction of sulfur dioxide with finely powdered limestone (CaCO3) or lime [Ca(OH)2] to form a sludge containing gypsum (CaSO4), which is collected and discarded in a solid-waste disposal site. Emissions of oxides of nitrogen can be controlled in various ways, for example, by reacting this gas with ammonia.(6500-RM as process controller)
LumaSense provides quality solutions to address these environmental challenges on a Worldwide level. We have been developing leading products and services to the market place using Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (PAS), Non dispersive Infrared Red (NDIR) and Dispersive Infrared (DIR) for more than 30 years - protecting the environment and general health is a clear objective in working with our customers.
Industrial Incinerator Emission Monitoring
Industrial pollution is choking us with smog and toxic gases, and creating life-threatening effects like global warming. This can be prevented with industrial air pollution control, incineration emission monitoring and by scrutinizing waste gases from industrial incinerators.
Refrigerant Leak Detection
Refrigerant gas leak detection is becoming a high priority for many companies, especially considering the increasing price of refrigerant gas, not to mention emergency service call-out costs to find, detect and repair leaks.
Formaldehyde Emissions Monitoring
The manufacturing process to produce chipboard commonly uses Formaldehyde. Formaldehyde Emission is a toxic, carcinogenic gas, which affects the mucus membranes such as the lungs, eyes and nose.
Landfill Methane Measurement
Global methane emissions from landfill are estimated to be between 30 and 70 million tons each year. Most of this landfill methane currently comes from developed countries, where the levels of waste tend to be highest.
Contaminated Soil
Contaminated soil is a serious and wide spread problem that normally has to be solved to avoid pollution of the ground water reservoir.
Green House Gases
The earth is warmed by the sun. Over time, the amount of energy transmitted to the earth’s surface is equal to the amount of energy radiated back into space in the form of infrared radiation, while the temperature of the earth stays virtually constant.
Automotive Emissions Monitoring
Modern automobiles are manufactured with sophisticated sensors, computer controls and On Board Diagnostics (OBD). Even with all of these systems operating correctly, the engine emissions can be nearly one and a half times the EPA standards set for the engine at the time it was certified.
Measurement of Agricultural Emissions
Thermal Comfort
Poor thermal comfort causes discomfort, headaches and even fatigue. As a result, people suffer both in terms of productivity and overall well-being.
VOCs In Central Ventilation Systems
By introducing stricter legislation controlling the permitted emissions from production plants and the requirement for documented evidence that these levels are not exceeded, governments are forcing manufacturers who use organic solvents in their production processes to take action.
Organic Solvents at a Printers
LumaSense offers solutions that enable companies to monitor organic solvents in the work environment.
Occupational Exposure to Anesthesia
The use of certain substances in today’s medical treatments exposes medical personnel to potentially hazardous levels of harmful materials like anesthesia gas. Ongoing research is studying these concerns in an effort to improve quality of care for patients and improve workplace safety for medical staff from harmful substances like anesthesia gas.
Occupational Exposure to MMA Vapors in Medical Environments
The use of certain substances in today’s medical treatments exposes medical personnel to potentially hazardous levels of harmful materials. Ongoing research is studying these concerns in an effort to improve quality of care for patients and improve workplace safety for medical staff.
