SIMPA

Promoted by:

Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, Italian Ministry of Education, Region of puglia

In cooperation with:

University of Bari – Department of Chemistry, University of Lecce, FAI Instruments s.r.l., LEnviroS s.r.l.

Main scientific objectives:

Implemantation of an integrated system for the particulate matter characterization on wide areas. In particular, the project is aimed at the following golas:

  • engineering development and testing onsite of a prototype for the determination of the local and regional contributions to the fine particulate matter concentrations
  • engineering development and testing onsite of the prototype for the determination of the contribution of the single sources (‘fugitive emission’) to the fine particulate matter concentrations
  • engineering instruments for the fine particulate matter sampling and for the continuous automatic determination of the heavy metals
FAI Instruments involvement:

The company placed at partners disposal the following instruments:

  • Multichannel OPC Monitor , for the characterization of the granulometric fractions >0.3 µm with distibuted spectra up to 72 granulometric channels
  • HYDRA Dual Sampler, automatic particulate matter sampler, working simultaneously on two independent sampling lines
  • PBL Mixing Monitor, sequential automatic system able to estimate the low PBL layers mixing ratio.
