Aeromap

Aeromap is a laser diode-based (NIR) full waveform LIDAR,especially designed for dust and aerosol mapping and monitoring. It identifies and measures relative concentration of aerosol over a range greater than 150m (500ft.) with a resolution up to 4.7cm (typically 75cm). Aeromap delivers 2D and 3D maps of relative concentration in near real-time for a better understanding of dust generating processes, making it the perfect instrument for fugitive emissions monitoring.

 

Features

  • Measures relative concentration of aerosol over a range of 150 m with resolution up to 20 cm (typically 75 cm)
  • Typicallimitof detectionof 50 μg/m3 @ 150 m
  • Eye safe
  • Additional context camera
  • Pan & Tilt Unit with mappingspeed up to 20°/s.
  • Acquisition speed:2 to 10 Hz


Advantages

  • Distribution of aerosol concentration along line-of-sight; Ideal for fugitive emissions monitoring
  • Same order of magnitude of air quality standards for total suspended particulates
  • Delivers 2D and 3D maps in near real-time
  • Real-time display of aerosol concentration.


Benefits

  • Equivalent to hundreds of point sensors located along line-of-sight
  • Can be used to monitor several types of dust generating processes
  • Can be installed on industrial sites or cities
  • Better understanding of aerosol generation and transport processes
  • Can be used to trigger alarms
