BHB SELECTED BY AICEP TO UPDATE AIR QUALITY MONITORING NETWORK
BHB was the company chosen by AICEP to update the existing Air Quality Monitoring Network in the industrial area involving Sines and Santiago do Cacém, Portugal.
AICEP Portugal Global - Trade & Investment Agency is a government business entity, created in 2007, focused in encouraging the best foreign companies to invest in Portugal and contribute to the success of Portuguese companies abroad in their internationalization processes or export activities.
Under the tender by invitation, sponsored by AICEP, BHB was chosen to update the existing network in the industrial area involving Sines and Santiago do Cacém, renewing part of the existing equipment and providing new equipment, increasing the precision and quality of the Air Quality Monitoring Network .
For this project, BHB will supply an high performance and reliability solution with numerous references in the domestic and international market, installing analyzers from the following multinational companies: Horiba (Japan), Verewa (Germany) and Synspec (Netherlands).
The intervention will take place at four separate locations - Montes Chão, Sonega, Monte Velho and Santiago do Cacém – all of these stations being fitted with the ability to monitor respirable suspended particulates PM10 and PM2.5.
Three of the stations will also be optimized with the installation of multi-parameterized sensors capable of measuring with precision the wind direction and speed, temperature, humidity, pressure and rainfall, without having to use mobile units.
A particular note should be made to the Montes Chão Station. Besides its relocation, this station will be totally revitalized in order to measure the BTEX hydrocarbons, which have been the greatest emphasis in the European environmental legislation.
