Casella Microdust pro real time dust monitor gets new accessory case for extended monitoring applications

With the increased awareness of environmental pollution from fine particulate,
the demand for portable real-time monitors of PM10 and PM2.5 has increased. This
need for real-time information is also a requirement in general industry when
looking at Total Suspended Particulate (TSP), Inhalable and Respirable dust
levels as a health issue. Casella USA has introduced ‘The Microdust Environmental Enclosure’ for exactly this application. This accessory provides a simple solution to fixed monitoring with the Microdust Pro and can be used for internal or, more importantly, short term ambient applications. The IP65 case is designed to accommodate a standard Microdust Pro instrument as well as a sampling pump system to maintain a precise inlet flow rate. The pump provides purge air to the measuring optics, an essential feature for problem free monitoring. The Microdust Environmental Enclosure has been designed as an accessory for existing users as well as for potential customers looking for a complete system. The complete system would require the purchase of: • Complete Environmental Kit – including: • Environmental enclosure kit case with standard accessories • Microdust Pro real time dust monitor. The key component to this accessory is the inlet which utilizes a modified CIS and ‘foam plug’ (PUF filter) cassette for size selective sampling. The new PUF filters can be fitted to suit PM10, PM2.5 or respirable (4 micron) dust applications within the modified CIS head and operate at 3.5 liters/min. Casella CEL have taken this simple but very effective principle and applied it to the tried and tested real-time monitoring capabilities of the Microdust Pro instrument. As with all the sampling adapters for the unit a filtered sample is collected after the optical measurement, allowing gravimetric analysis for comparisons or speciation of the dusts collected, to be made if necessary. This new addition to the Microdust Pro allows it to be used for real-time ambient monitoring of PM10, PM2.5 and respirable fractions of particulate, an application requirement that will be very useful to many Casella USA customers.
