Some sharing about environmental monitoring equipment

What is environmental monitoring equipment?

Environmental monitoring equipment, also known as measuring equipment or measuring machinery, are used to represent, measure and record physical quantities. Measurement of an attribute can be classified according to criteria such as: type, intensity, speed and temperature.

Equipment to support environmental monitoring.

Monitoring equipment can refer to devices as simple as direct-reading thermometers or as complex as multi-sensor components of industrial control systems. Currently, monitoring devices are used to measure indicators in laboratories, oil refineries, factories and the surrounding environment. In addition, they are also used every day in the family. (For example, smoke detectors, thermostats, etc)

In addition to environmental index measuring devices, monitoring work also requires other auxiliary equipment such as sampling tools and protective equipment.

Classification of environmental monitoring equipment

Currently, there are two types of machinery to perform environmental monitoring: periodic direct monitoring equipment and the use of automatic environmental monitoring systems. Measuring and monitoring indicators in different environments will require appropriate monitoring equipment. The structure and function of the device will have specific measurement capabilities based on its intended use in diverse environments.

Periodic direct monitoring equipment

Monitoring the soil environment

Soil environment plays a very important role in life. It provides a growing environment for many species and is a source of important resources such as land, oil, gas and water. Soil is also a littering environment and a place to store many hazardous wastes. If the land environment is not managed and protected aesthetically, it can lead to the destruction of resources, affecting the environment and human health. Therefore, the role of the soil environment in life is very important and needs to be carefully respected and protected.

Monitoring the water environment

Some water environment monitoring equipment

The water environment plays a very important role in our lives because water is an indispensable element for all organisms and ecosystems on Earth. The aquatic environment provides water for animals, plants and humans. And water is also an important resource in food production, agriculture and energy production.

Monitoring the air environment

The air environment provides oxygen for the existence of organisms, as well as helps the development and growth of bacteria which require oxygen to live. Air also helps to maintain temperature and humidity in the environment, reducing Resolves the solids and chemicals of sound and light production, conditioning and transmission activities.

Automatic environmental monitoring system

The automatic environmental monitoring system, also known by another name, is an online environmental monitoring station that can be controlled remotely thanks to an internet connection. This system has an automatic warning function when it detects indicators exceeding a certain threshold. Therefore, this is considered a fast, advanced monitoring solution with a higher accuracy and is therefore the most trusted and used by experts. The system consists of two main parts: the hardware and the software.

The structure of an automatic environmental monitoring system is as follows:

-       Continuous automatic monitoring devices

-       Data transmission system

-       Surveillance camera system

-       Infrastructure and other auxiliary equipment

Technical standards of environmental monitoring equipment

Before being put into use, environmental monitoring equipment must ensure quality standards and technical regulations in accordance with regulations on quality and goods.

-       When using environmental monitoring equipment, the manufacturer's instructions for use, the usage procedures are to be followed in order to be conform with the technical measurement requirements.

-       Before use, environmental monitoring devices must be checked (external check, technical check and accuracy check). In case it is discovered that the equipment does not meet the technical measurement requirements according to regulations, the device cannot be used anymore. Also, a record must be made and saved in the management records.

-      Regarding the maintenance, the environmental monitoring equipment reparation or replacement have to be performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

-       Records of environmental monitoring equipment management will be kept at the organization performing the environmental monitoring activities in order to be presented at any time if requested by a competent state agency.

How to maintain environmental monitoring equipment

FEC staff perform inspection and maintenance of environmental monitoring equipment.

Maintenance is the activity of performing technical care, adjusting, repairing or replacing a number of components and details inside various types of machinery and environmental monitoring equipment.
