Teledyne API applications

Ambient air quality monitoring is the systematic, long-term assessment of pollutant levels by measuring the concentration and types of certain pollutants in the surrounding, outdoor air. Some of these pollutants (commonly called ‘Criteria Pollutants’) are considered hazardous to human health and their levels are regulated by government agencies around the world, including the US EPA. Teledyne API provides a complete line of ambient air quality monitoring instruments, including those for both gas and particulate pollution, as well as calibration instruments that help ensure consistently high data quality to government agencies, consultants, industrial facilities, and institutions around the world.

Motor vehicle emissions are a major source of air pollution in urban areas and impact the lives of billions of people every day around the world.  Motor vehicle exhaust contains toxic chemicals that are harmful to people’s health when exposed at certain levels. These toxic fumes cause smog in the atmosphere, which can affect very broad regional air sheds and contribute to the formation of cancer. Teledyne API has several products specifically designed to meet the challenging demands of near-roadside air quality monitoring.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are used to measure flue gases from stationary sources at a wide variety of regulated industrial facilities, including power plants, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, waste incinerators, pulp and paper producers, and many others. The types of air pollution measured from these sources vary widely based on the industry and process, and many are regulated by government agencies around the world.

Treatment for drinking water production involves the removal of contaminants from raw water to produce water that is pure enough for human consumption without any short term or long term risk of any adverse health effect. Substances that are removed during the process of drinking water treatment include suspended solids, bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi, and minerals such as iron and manganese. Ozone (O3) gas is commonly used in this contaminant removal industrial process as an effective and economical oxidizer. Teledyne API carries a complete line of Industrial Process O3 instruments to meet all of the process and safety needs in this application.

Production of semiconductor materials require extremely clean air supply that help ensure the quality of the materials being manufactured as well as specialized gases to enable production to occur smoothly and efficiently.  Teledyne API carries a complete line of Industrial gas process instruments including those that both produce and measure gases in these unique applications. Teledyne API also provides specialty gas instruments designed to help reduce or eliminate Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) in the ultra-clean supply gas provided in these processes. 

Food quality and safety are two of the most challenging issues in the current regulatory environment that are of great concern to today`s health-conscious consumers. Increasingly, Ozone (O3) gas is being used in these important applications as an organic, economical, and environmentally friendly sanitation solution compared with conventional methods. This same approach is also becoming more prominent in the Medical industry for the same reasons. Whether you are generating ozone as part of a process or keeping your workers safe, Teledyne API`s Ozone product line offers solutions for your high quality medical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage needs.
