Emerging Trends in Smart Environmental Protection: Rise of Grid-Based and Refined Monitoring

Traditional atmospheric monitoring stations (national control stations) are precise but large, costly, and sparsely deployed, making comprehensive coverage of city "microenvironments" challenging.

Necessity of Grid-Based Monitoring

By deploying high-density monitoring points, management authorities can obtain real-time air quality index (AQI) data for different regions. Nexisense solutions aim to fill the gaps between large monitoring stations using low-power, highly reliable micro monitoring stations, achieving full coverage of city streets, communities, and construction sites, and accurately locating pollution sources.

Boundary and Pollution Source Online Monitoring

For chemical parks and manufacturing enterprises, boundary atmospheric monitoring is key to fulfilling environmental responsibilities and mitigating emission risks. By deploying high-precision detection systems along enterprise perimeters, Nexisense enables 24/7 monitoring of fugitive emissions, ensuring VOCs and odorous gases do not exceed allowable limits.

Core Technology: The Power of PPB-Level High-Precision Sensors

Target gas concentrations in the atmosphere are often at trace levels (PPB-level, parts per billion). Standard industrial sensors cannot meet such stringent resolution requirements.

Nexisense SGA-700 Series: Benchmark for Smart Sensor Modules

Our core product, the SGA-700 series intelligent high-precision gas sensor module, acts as the "brain" of precise monitoring with the following features:

  • PPB-level resolution: sensitively detects minute fluctuations in air concentrations.

  • Intelligent calibration algorithm: built-in temperature and humidity compensation effectively addresses drift caused by environmental changes.

  • Plug-and-play design: modular structure reduces maintenance costs; users can replace sensors on-site without returning them to the factory.

  • Multi-signal output: supports RS485, 0-5V, 4-20mA protocols for easy integration into existing atmospheric monitoring equipment.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why must PPB-level resolution be emphasized in urban grid-based monitoring rather than conventional PPM-level?

A1: Gaseous pollutants in urban air (e.g., SO2, NO2, O3) are typically extremely low, usually only a few to tens of PPB. PPM-level sensors (minimum resolution 0.1ppm or 1ppm) cannot capture subtle fluctuations, resulting in "zero" or jumping readings. Nexisense SGA-700 series modules achieve 1ppb or lower resolution, enabling refined management, AQI calculation, and pollution source tracing.

Q2: How does Nexisense solve the "temperature drift" issue of electrochemical sensors in atmospheric monitoring?

A2: Electrochemical sensors are extremely sensitive to temperature changes, which affect electrolyte activity and reaction rates. Nexisense uses dual physical and algorithm compensation: high-precision temperature sensors monitor the microenvironment, and SGA-700 intelligent chips apply real-time nonlinear compensation, ensuring stable data from -40°C to 50°C.

Q3: For VOC monitoring, what are the advantages of PID photoionization sensors compared with GC-FID technology?

A3: GC-FID is a laboratory-grade method, highly accurate but expensive, bulky, and requires hydrogen cylinders. In contrast, Nexisense high-lifespan PID sensors are compact, respond in seconds, require no auxiliary gases, and enable continuous monitoring. PID provides real-time detection for boundary early warning and fugitive emission monitoring. For qualitative analysis, PID can be combined with portable GC-MS for sampling, creating a closed-loop monitoring system.

Q4: How is measurement accuracy ensured when multiple interfering gases (e.g., O3 affecting NO2) exist?

A4: Cross-interference is a technical barrier for environmental sensors. Nexisense applies a “physical filtering + differential compensation” approach. Selective filtering membranes block interferents, and multi-parameter monitoring systems use algorithms (e.g., simultaneous ozone measurement during NO2 monitoring) to mathematically isolate target gas concentration, effectively reducing false positives.

Q5: How does Nexisense ensure seamless compliance with HJ 212-2017 protocol?

A5: Data acquisition devices fully comply with HJ 212-2017 for online pollution source monitoring. Systems support RS485 or RJ45 interfaces with breakpoint resume to prevent data loss. Users configure parameter codes, device ID, and server IP to automatically upload monitoring data to provincial, municipal, and county-level environmental platforms.

Q6: How does Nexisense address sensor zero drift?

A6: Long-term use can cause zero offset due to electrode polarization, electrolyte depletion, or lamp contamination. Nexisense supports remote zero calibration and software alignment. Cloud connectivity allows remote commands for calibration, and automatic physical sampling with zero air or purified air ensures reference accuracy.

Q7: How are sensors protected against corrosion and condensation in coastal or high-humidity environments?

A7: SGA-700 modules are coated with triple-protection paint for strong salt-fog resistance. Optional dehumidifiers or heated sampling pipelines prevent condensation before gas enters the sensor chamber, protecting sensor life and ensuring accurate readings.

Q8: What are the maintenance advantages of intelligent modules over traditional analog probes?

A8: Intelligent modules digitally store calibration data, range, sensitivity, and coefficients. On-site replacement is as easy as changing a light bulb; the system automatically recognizes the module and reads parameters, eliminating recalibration and reducing operational costs for large monitoring networks.
