Air quality monitoring in a Biomass plant

Posted on June 1, 2017 at 9:28 am.

Envirochem were approached by one of our clients in Herefordshire to investigate air quality within a newly fitted biomass plant. Due to the nature of the plant being a very warm, humid environment with a production of airborne dust and potential airborne bacteria from the product being processed, it was suggested that inhalable dusts and bio-aerosols would be analysed to give an indication of whether employees are exposed to elevated levels of dust and bacteria within the internal atmosphere.

Envirochem offer a wide range of occupational hygiene services to a wide variety of clients, not only those in the biomass energy industry. Please contact us if you require any occupational hygiene, chemical or microbiological services.

The proposed new school in the Sheffield area has been met with much debate. This is due to the plan to build it on land formerly used as landfill. Currently the plans consist of ventilation within the school to reduce the gas risks, as well as this further soil sampling being taken.

Explosive Gas Monitoring on Landfill Sites or For Developments Close to Landfill Sites

Flammable gases, such as methane, are often found in and near to landfill sites due to the decomposition of waste and migration of gases though soil. Methane, specifically, is an odourless gas which is flammable and is an asphyxiant gas. Gases such as methane pose a risk to enclosed spaces such as under floor voids and workers in poorly ventilated areas, as well as a fire/explosion risk to landfill sites themselves.

Envirochem offers monitoring for many types of gas including methane, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and nitrogen oxides. Envirochem also offers many other kinds of occupational hygiene analysis and monitoring.
