SYSTEM FOR ENVIRONMENT QUALITY SUPERVISION ON THE

INDUSTRIAL PATFORMS

The system achieves technological control

of pollution level into a zone with noxious
generating units
The system assures all local environment
data acquisition and processing and
transmits them, via satellite , in the
INTERNET network

System Features:

Continuous acquisition of on-site analog and

digital values

Analog /Digital Conversion

Local processing (filtering, normalization, average
values)
On schedule data transmitting over the geostationary satellite network ORBCOMM to a data
server
Public access via Internet

DATA ACQUISITION
The analyzer INFRARED -2 measures the
level of the noxious (in particular CO) and
is provided with current output (4-20mA)
The voltage analog input of the ST2500-C
communicator measures voltage in the
range 1..5 V
The A/D Conversion resolution is 10 bits
Final measured values are given in mg/m3

The level of the imission noxious

(STAS 12574 compliant):

Pre-alarm value for CO: 4,2 mg/m3

Alarm value for CO :

6,0 mg/m3

TESTING THE FUNCTIONAL

MODEL
In the time period 19.08.2002 10. 12. 2002 the
Environment monitoring system for industrial areas was
installed in a five floor administrative building at METAV SA,
in Bucharest. The collected environmental data was
published on METAV SA website. Generally, the pre-alarm
value wasnt exceeded (see fig. 2 and fig. 3). Only in the
period 4-6.08.2002 the pre-alarm value was exceeded with
the medium value : 0,3mg/m3. Then the medium temperature
was high (about 40oC - 42o C). Also in 13.08.2002 (medium
temperature 34oC) and 23.08.2002(medium temperature
38oC ) the pre-alarm value was exceeded .

TESTING THE FUNCTIONAL

MODEL
In September (13.09.2001), while the system was running, we
made measurements with an analyzer which measured the CO
instantaneous values. The measured value was 1,25 mg/m3 in
the interval 12.45-13.00 (Bucharest time) and 0.7mg/m3 at
13.20 (Bucharest time) . The average values published on the
Internet in the interval 12.00-14.00 and 14.00-16.00
(Bucharest time) was 1.45mg /m3 and respectively 1.25
mg/m3. In November (14.11.2001) while the system was
running we made measurements with the OLDHAM analyzer
between 12.00-14,00 (Bucharest time) . Between the measured
value and the average value published on the Web site was an
error of 0.10 mg/m3 (6%) . This means that the average values
published on the web site are real .

CONCLUSION
The acquired results determine us to conclude the
Environment Monitoring System is a very important tool for
industrial companies. By the mean of this system the
industrial companies can perform the control of pollution
level in their action area . Also the communication channel
via satellite has a small cost in comparison with other
communication means.
