OPSIS Podcasts on Industrial Gas Monitoring

In this podcast, we take a closer look at how particulate matter is generated, with emphasis on the smallest fractions which also are the ones with the worst health effects. The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI generated

We continue the series of podcast on air pollution by taking a closer look at where gas-phase air pollution comes from. The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI generated.

What is air pollution, where does it come from, and what can we do about it? This podcast is a first in a short series addressing these topics. The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI-generated. 

It is important to monitor concentrations of sulfur dioxide and other gaseous substances in the production of sulfuric acid. What monitoring needs can there be, and how can these needs be met in a convenient way? The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI-generated.

OPSIS is probably best known for its gas analyser systems based on broad-band (“white”) light from xenon lamps and spectrometers or interferometers as the core analysis devices. However, OPSIS also offers an instrument type base on a quite different optical technique – light absorption detected by utilizing a tuneable diode laser. Let’s take a closer look! The presentation is based on facts from t...

Cement is a versatile building material, but it comes with environmental issues, not only from a greenhouse gas perspective (carbon dioxide emissions) but also related to the production process where high levels of other pollutants may be emitted. Emissions control and monitoring are often required but there are challenges. In this blog post, we discuss how cement is produced and what the environm...

Some OPSIS gas analysers are based on a device called an interferometer. Like a spectrometer, it separates light into its wavelength components, but it’s done in a special and indirect way. Keep on reading to find out how! The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI generated.

Have you heard of new and strict regulations on mercury emissions within the European Union? If you are responsible for the operations at a waste incineration facility, you probably have. But what’s the issue with mercury, and what do the EU regulations say? The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI generated.

Several of OPSIS gas analyser types are based on a device called a spectrometer. It separates light into its wavelength components, allowing the analyser to detect light absorption and thereby determine gas concentrations. Let’s take a closer look at how a spectrometer works!

Mercury emissions from waste incinerators and other industrial facilities are often strictly regulated. This calls for monitoring of mercury concentrations. That is not always an easy task, but there is a method available giving the true total mercury content in the flue gas. Let us take a closer look at the topic The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and v...

Waste incineration might sound negative, but properly managed, it can be an efficient and environmentally sound way to make the best out of waste that cannot easily be recycled. But how can the emissions of air pollutants best be reduced and monitored? The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI generated.

Whatever you want to detect, you need to identify a property of the object that is easy-enough to measure. The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices are AI generated.

Combustion-based heat and power production has historically been an environmental culprit. However, increased awareness and legislative requirements have improved the situation notably over the past decades. But which rules apply, which emissions-to-air limits are there, and how are the emissions determined? The presentation is based on facts from the OPSIS blog on this topic. Dialogue and voices...

Back in the nineteenth century or so, industries pouring out smoke through the stacks were considered signs of progress and prosperity. However, that changed when the effects of the emissions became apparent, including smog, acid rain, and respiratory diseases. Nowadays, the smoke is usually much cleaner thanks to more efficient production processes and flue gas treatment, but there’s still smoke....
