Pollution S.r.l. articles

In the past, the primary origin of local air pollution has been emissions from stationary sources. These sites include power generating plants, oil refineries, chemical plants, steel factories, cement and glass manufacturing companies, space heating, and many other industries. Pollutants are emitted into the air from these plants through fossil fuel combustion, chemical processes, and the grinding or pulverizing of metals for cement,

The reduction of pollution impact is crucial nowadays, governments and industries are putting a big effort into this process and monitoring the air concentration of harmful compounds is a key point in achieving success.

Environmental organizations around the world have set strict limits for all kinds of pollutants and many laws have been written in recent years in order to control emis

Over the past decade enormous scientific, social and economic changes have impacted our quality and environmental regulations, prompting a new look at the subject of controlling emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

Problem:

VOC emissions are quantified and monitored according to standard EN 12619, using Flame Ionization Detectors (FID) analyser which uses hydrogen and other reference gases in pressurized cylinders. Operators must then approach the s

Benzene is a hydrocarbon that appears as a volatile liquid, capable of evaporating rapidly at room temperature; it is colourless and easily flammable and is the progenitor of a family of organic compounds defined as aromatic, due to the characteristic odour. Benzene is a natural component of oil (1-5% by volume) and its refining derivatives.

PROBLEM:

BTEX analysis gives a great indication of VOC emissions from an extended range of sources.

Accurate and reliable BTEX testing (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes) is critical in determining the levels of exposure and contamination in the environment. High levels of BTEX exposure can affect human health and the environment, which has resulted in a European Directive and with EPA guidelines to set allowable limits. The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers the exposure to Benzene (even at a very low concentration of part per billion) a major public health concern because

PROBLEM:

The industrial chimney`s emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are becoming issues of global importance and to have an accurate knowledge about how to test VOC turns into a strategic issue. VOC emissions are quantified and monitored according to standard EN 12619, using FID analyzer which uses hydrogen and other reference gases in pressurized cylinder. Operators must then approach the sampling point, often place

POLLUTION S.r.l. manufactures POLARIS FID analyzer, a cutting-edge technology for the measurement of total hydrocarbons in ambient air and stack emission monitoring in accordance with EN 13526 and EN 12619. This analyser is based on Flame Ionization Detection (FID), a reference method technique to measure total hydrocarbons (THC, VOC, TOC). Polaris FID is a very handy instrument because it allows to perform continuous analysis for many hours. External gas cylinders are not necessary because P
