Why automatic on-line monitoring is a good solution?

To save money and save time (less people are needed to control process or pollution) More real information is available for process control and for reporting (on-line monitoring gives

possibility to know continuously, what is really happening, reporting to the authorities/owners is easier => less need to explain!

Possibility to avoid environmental accidents and problems, since you can react immediately, when something happens – no long delays for reactions => Early Warning System

Possibility to adjust and optimize the process Big savings! monitor process and pollution everywhere, where is the need (no need to worry about electricity

and communication cables Monitoring is possible all year around - heat or coldness are not making any problems (operates -

40….+80 °C The data is sent to automation system or to Internet wirelessly => very pleasant and fast system

Need: Ability to measure simultaneously different trace metals at concentration levels down to the fractional parts per billion (sub-ppb), using inexpensive, versatile, reliable, small size instrumentation, with no requirement of special installationConventional electrochemical detection: Stripping voltametry based on amalgamation on a mercury electrodeOur key solution is anodic stripping voltametry by1) Screen printed mercury electrode2) Screen printed mercury-free electrode (based on graphene or bismuth)3) Gold wire electrode

We have also expertise on:4) Amperometric method based on an enzyme biosensor for complex forming metal

ions like nickel5) Strip test with colormetric analysis6) Plasma discharge atomic absortion and emission spectroscopy7) Plasma, spark or laser induced breakdown spectroscopy8) Optical transmission spectroscopy with complex forming reagents

Field usable optic online measuring instrument for liquids

The instrument can be used to measure metal concentrations in liquid samples with a reagent that forms complexes with metals. The formed complexes absorb light in the visible area. Measurements are based on optical spectroscopy within wavelength range 200 … 850 nm. Fouling of optical surfaces is controlled with a cleaning solution.

Figure shows the spectra of several concentrations of nickel with PAR (4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol) reagent.

Teollisuuden metallipäästöjen mittaamisessa läpimurto - Pienten metallipitoisuuksien on line mittaaminen teollisuusvesistä on nyt totta Tiedote. Julkaistu: 19.11.2015 klo 13:02 Julkaisija: EHP-Tekniikka Heinäkuussa 2014 käynnistyi kehitystyö, jonka tuloksena luvattiin olevan siirrettävä, jatkuvatoiminen (on line) metallimittausratkaisu teollisuusvesille - kaivoksille, metallitehtaille, kemiantehtaille ja energiateollisuuteen - on saavuttanut tavoitteeseensa ja läpimurto on saavutettu suomalais-norjalaisen yhteistyönä.

Liukoisten metallipitoisuuksien mittaamistoive on toteutunut ja todella pieniä, mikrogrammatason liukoisia metallipitoisuuksia voidaan mitata teollisuuden kuivatusvesistä, jäähdytysvesistä ja jätevesistä jatkuvatoimisesti paikasta ja ajasta riippumatta vuodet ympäri äärimmäisissä olosuhteissa. Metallipäästöt vesistöihin kuormittavat herkkiä vesistöjä ja metallien mittaamisen avulla päästöjä voidaan vähentää merkittävästi. Käyttöön on otettu mittausratkaisu, jolla ensimmäisenä maailmassa voidaan maastossa mitata useiden metallien päästöjä ympärivuotisesti paikasta ja ajasta riippumatta. Jatkuvatoiminen mittaus voidaan viedä ojaan, purku-uomaan, lampeen, jokeen, järveen tai altaaseen ja täysin reaaliaikaisesti mitata metallien määrää vedessä. Tämä mahdollistaa metallipäästöjen kiinnisaamisen heti - esim. onnettomuustilanteessa on tärkeää havaita päästö heti alkuvaiheessa, jolloin voidaan välittömästi reagoida ja estää suurten metallimäärien joutumisen vesistöön. Tämä säästää rahaa sekä ympäristöä.

Mitatut metallipitoisuustiedot lähetetään langattomasti eteenpäin ja näin voidaan metallipitoisuuksien noususta saada välittömästi tieto ja ryhtyä saman tien korjaaviin toimenpiteisiin. Ratkaisuun kuuluu myös vesimäärän ja muiden vedenlaatutietojen samanaikainen mittaaminen, joten ratkaisu on globaalisti täysin ainutlaatuinen. Ratkaisun toimivuus on todettu vuoden 2015 aikana kaivos- ja metallikonserni Bolidenin kaivoksella ja metallisulattamolla tehdyissä täyden mittakaavan koejoissa ja ensimmäiset kaupalliset sopimukset asiakkaiden kanssa on solmittu marraskuussa 2015. Ratkaisun takana ovat EHP-Tekniikka Oy, oululainen ympäristömittaustekniikan yhtiö, CEMIS-Oulu, Kajaanissa toimiva Oulun yliopiston tutkimusyksikkö ja EnviTech AS, norjalainen ympäristöalan yhtiö.
