Dustroid Dust Monitor
Introduction
Dustroid is a Continuous Air Particulate Monitoring system to measure the concentration of dust particulates in the ambient air. The dust monitor range is capable of monitoring various sizes of particulates ranging from 1 micron to 100 microns such as Ultrafine Suspended Particulate Matter – PM1 (UFPM), Respiratory Particulate Matter – PM2.5 (RSPM), Suspended Particulate Matter – PM10 (SPM), and Total Suspended Particulates – PM100 (TSP). By using external modules one can also monitor meteorological parameters like wind speed, wind direction to identify PM dispersion and impact of dust levels in a vicinity.
Dustroid is an ideal choice for dust surveys in areas with dust-laden activities like construction, mining, quarrying, ports, metallurgical processes, and many more, etc. The Dustroid measures all major particulate matter like PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100, Temperature, and Humidity. The dust monitor is technologically equipped and works on the Active Sampling method to count particulate matters using a highly accurate laser beam. Additionally, it has a heated inlet for dehumidification of air-sample. Its Anti-static inlet avoids loss of particulate during sampling. It offers remote calibration capabilities along with auto device firmware updates.
Our intelligent optical particle counter can measure data with high accuracy and transmit the same through various data communication modules like GSM, WiFi, LORA, etc. The data is transmitted to the Oizom cloud in near real-time. Additionally, it has an inbuilt memory backup to ensure no data loss in case of network failure. The collected data can be visualized on the Oizom IoT Terminal in the form of real-time dashboards, automated reports, and smart alerts. The data can also be accessed through Rest APIs for setting triggers and alerts to automate dust mitigation systems like fogging cannons, misting systems, and ambient dust purification systems.
Parameters
The Dustroid can be configured to sense multiple parameters. The following is a partial list.
- Ultra Fine Particulate Matter (PM1) – UFPM
- Respiratory Suspended Particulate Matter (PM2.5) – RSPM
- Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10) – SPM
- Total Suspended Particulates (PM100) – TSP
- Ambient Light and UV Radiation
- Temperature and Humidity.
System Architecture
Dustroid Solution is designed with an ultra-modular approach to accommodate any existing infrastructure. For power, Dustroid can work on External AC or DC power as well as Solar Power (not available for Dustroid Pro). For data transmission, the Dustroid dust monitor range can communicate the data using various Wired and Wireless channels. GSM, GPRS, 3G, WiFi, LORA, LTE, SIGFOX are also available for wireless data communication. Where Ethernet, Modbus, RS-485, RS-283 are the wired data-communication options. The ambient air particulate data monitored by Dustroid can be transmitted to Oizom Cloud which can be hosted on Shared or Private Infrastructure. The data from Oizom Cloud can be useful for different data solutions on the basis of end-application.
Dust data measured from Dustroid can be visualized and analyzed in Oizom Data Terminal. Smart dust alerts can be set-up on the dust data from Dustroid. Various process equipment can be regulated based on Dustroid data for automated solutions. Automated reports can be generated by the system. Using Dustroid data, real-time dust impact assessment is possible for management.
