OSTARA is an air quality measurement station designed for the outdoors, especially harsh environments.
Boasting on-site installation and autonomous operation, the OSTARA station measures the main air pollutants, calculates environmental indicators, and collects meteorological information:
- Fine particulate matter: PM 1, PM 2.5, PM 10
- Odours and certain gases: carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, nitrogen dioxide, oxygen, ozone, sulphur dioxide, organo-volatile compounds (other gases on request)
- Environmental indicators: freezing point, dew point, windchill, humidex, air quality index (ATMO), Cote Air Santé (CAS)
- Meteorological information: temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity.
The station is also equipped for global air and water monitoring via auxiliary sensors:
- WiMo probe to measure physicochemical water parameters, such as temperature, pressure, conductivity, turbidity, pH, etc.
- Ultrasonic anemometer to measure wind speed.
Applications
Perfect for any site requiring air quality monitoring due to particulate and gas emissions, including:
- Mines
- Quarries
- Oil and natural gas refineries
- Aluminum smelters, steel mills
- Petrochemical plants
- Industrial boilers and furnaces
- Pulp and paper plants
- Foundries
- Electric power plants
- Construction sites
- Ports and coastal areas
- Urban environments...
