This case study highlights how the Western Australia Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) maintains rigorous air quality standards despite the logistical hurdles of the Australian Outback. By deploying Acoem’s Solar BAM, they bridge the gap between lab-grade precision and extreme field durability.
Customer
Western Australia’s Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER)
Application
Dust monitoring
The Challenge
- Limited land availability and access to power and communication utilities
- Harsh weather conditions, including extremes of temperature and cyclones
- Quality and reliability (Aus/Std and >95% up time)
The Solution
A compact and portable, solar-powered, cyclone-rated environmental monitoring station. Including Aus/Std compliant PM10 and PM2.5 dust monitoring, as well as a full suite of meteorological parameters.
The Outcome
Reliable, cost-effective, portable, and upgradeable dust monitoring station that is a proven industry leader across Australia for compliant dust monitoring.
“The solar BAM dust monitoring system has been in existence for nearly 20 years. Over the years, it has undergone many upgrades and development changes and continues to be a robust and reliable compliance monitoring system, whether in the harsh Pilbara, colder southern climates, or hot/humid tropics.
It has proven its durability and ensured its cost-effectiveness with limited upkeep and maintenance requirements. It has become industry best practice for compliant dust monitoring across Australia.” – Paul How, Acoem National Delivery Manager
