Emissions Mapping Revolutionised Through Drone-Mounted Sensors


Innovative Finnish cleantech startup Aeromon has developed a unique platform for rapidly mapping over 70 different industrial emissions. By deploying sensors in static, hand-held and drone-mounted configurations, Aeromon uses its cloud-based service to fluidly analyse emissions patterns in any industrial setting - including those that previously proved difficult to access. This enables Aeromon clients to save more time and resources than ever before when managing the environmental effects of their operations, and to protect members of the public from potential unforeseen hazards.


Founded in 2015 with the original intent to monitor shipping emissions in harbors, Jouko Salo, Aeromon Chairman, soon realized that the Aeromon platform had the potential to help a wide range of clients. “I started Aeromon, as I saw that there were no technologies available to monitor emissions from ships sailing on the seas near coastlines. We made the decision to apply flexible modular architecture to our design from the very beginning so that we could vary the systems for multiple uses. This has proven valuable in building the monitoring concept for environmental emissions and process industry.”


Aeromon successfully conducted pilots at the Ämmässuo waste treatment center (operated by the Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY, Finland) in 2015, and in oil and gas industry sites in 2016. The pilots demonstrated the potential to make significant efficiency and financial savings in process industry monitoring applications.


In each study, the lightweight, easily deployable nature of the Aeromon platform made it possible to map large areas which would normally prove time-consuming solely on foot. When coupled with automated analysis and visual reporting, the whole emissions mapping process gains huge efficiency increases.


“By measuring emissions with drones, we now have the potential to locate emissions which might otherwise go unnoticed,” concludes Jouko Salo. “It also allows our clients to get more complete results quicker than ever before, as difficult locations can now be easily reached and mapping can be done swiftly. Also, our cloud-based automatic reporting and calibration management makes the workflow leaner, which in turn gives companies more time to focus on actions based on their newly-acquired information.”

A Sample Gas Cooler for Every Need


AGT-PSG’s MAK10 range of refrigerated and thermoelectric coolers are designed to meet the highest criteria of sample gas quality. MAK10 offers additional options such as pre-separators, filters, flowmeters, acid dosages, humidity sensors and sample gas pumps. This unit can effectively be configured to meet any operator’s specific needs.


MAK10 sample gas coolers can be enhanced to fit all integrated sample gas conditioning systems thanks to its versatile, modular design. The precise


proportional temperature control in combination with the long-lasting hot-gas bypass system and the innovative corrosion resistant PTFE/PVDF heat exchangers achieves extremely low constant dew points. In Addition, load fluctuations and high thermal stress is compensated reliably. The hydrophobic corrosion resistant PTFE coating, the optimised internal geometry and the very short retention time in the heat exchanger ensure a very low gas dissolution rate. Additionally for applications with very low measuring ranges like CEMs the ingenius “Twister” heat exchanger design is applied. Due to flow induced centrifugal forces arising, condensate is separated reliably from the gas phase and ensures minimal contact between sample gas and condensate resulting in a negligible wash out ratio of water soluble gas components like SO2


. The permanent separation of the condensate from the gas phase, as well as the shorter contact time and chance of the gas in the system, play an important part in MAK10’s unsurpassed efficiency.


AGT-PSG also offers its own modular system of gas sampling probes, heated sample lines and gas conditioning units to meet all requirements of nearly every application true to the company’s motto “Perfect Sample Gas”.
