Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are air pollutants that are harmful to humans and animals. These invisible gases cause smog, deteriorate living and workplace environments, threaten underground water reservoirs, and can cause devastating illnesses. Some examples of VOCs are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and formaldehyde.

In an effort to prevent toxic air emissions, the EPA has issued a final rule that requires refineries to monitor and report benzene concentration levels at each of their facilities fencelines. Fines for accidental emissions or non-compliance are prohibitive. The rule is in full effect this year. (Source: EPA)

The problem is that current monitoring technology options either lack real-time reporting or are very expensive and complex to implement and operate.

Omniscent sensor solutions can differentiate between different VOCs

The sensor solution can differentiate between different VOCs in real-time and provide the concentration levels of each VOC. Thus enabling users to take corrective action as needed.

A Unique Solution
The sensor can differentiate between different VOCs and reports individual gas levels separately. Users can examine concentration levels of each VOC and take corrective action if needed.

Our sensor helps you monitor and alert Environmental Health & Safety teams when high emission levels of VOCs, such as benzene, toluene, methylal, styrene, and m/o- xylene, are detected.

OMNI-2100 autonomously detects benzene, methylal, and styrene with sub-ppb sensitivity at the fenceline or near an emission source and in real-time.

OUR OFFERING
Our flagship product, OMNI-2100, monitors ambient volatile organic compounds at ppb level for regulatory compliance and air quality assurance. It’s a MEMS-based IoT analyzer that is compact, autonomous, and remotely accessible. You can login securely from anywhere in the world to monitor your site VOC levels and take immediate corrective action, whenever needed. OMNI-2100 saves lives and preempts violations.
