Mercury vapour and ozone monitoring solutions for industrial safety
Accurate gas monitoring is essential for industrial safety, process control and environmental measurement. From mercury vapour exposure in demanding workplaces to ozone monitoring in cold storage, water treatment and remote ambient air applications, selecting the right instrument helps technical teams obtain quantitative data for informed decisions.
At a glance
Mercury vapour exposure
HERMES provides real-time measurement for applications where mercury vapour exposure must be quantified rapidly and reliably.
Industrial ozone control
The Model 106-M supports ozone monitoring in cold storage rooms and other industrial ozone applications.
Leak detection
The Model 106-L is suited for workplace ozone safety monitoring, including leak detection in water treatment plants.
Ambient air monitoring
The Model 202 is designed for ambient ozone monitoring, including remote areas where size and power consumption matter.
Quantitative measurements
The instruments provide defined measurement ranges and precision values for technical monitoring applications.
Application-driven selection
Each model addresses a specific monitoring need, from occupational exposure to industrial process and ambient air measurements.
Gas monitoring for safety, process control and environmental measurement
Mercury vapour and ozone monitoring require instruments selected according to the application, the expected concentration range and the measurement environment. A personal exposure application does not require the same configuration as a cold storage ozone control system, an ozone leak detection point or a remote ambient air monitoring station.
The 2B Technologies instruments available through ES Canada address these different use cases with portable, wall-mount, benchtop and OEM-oriented configurations depending on the model. This makes it possible to choose a monitoring approach based on the measurement objective rather than relying on a single generic gas analyzer.
Real-time mercury vapour monitoring with HERMES
The HERMES Personal Mercury Monitor is designed to quantify mercury vapour exposure in real time. It is used in demanding industrial environments where fast response and reliable data are important for safety, compliance and operational decision-making.
- Measurement range: 0–2,000 µg/m³ Hg.
- Precision: 0.1 µg/m³.
- Operation: battery powered, with optional wall-mount bracket for stationary installations.
- Data management: built-in data logger.
This profile makes HERMES suitable for applications where mercury vapour exposure must be measured directly in the field, without losing the ability to document measurement data over time.
Ozone monitoring in cold storage and industrial processes
The Model 106-M Ozone Monitor is designed for industrial ozone monitoring, including cold storage rooms. In this type of application, closed-loop feedback control can be used to regulate the output of an ozone generator and maintain ozone levels without under- or over-producing ozone.
- Measurement range: 0–1,000 ppm.
- Precision and accuracy: 2%.
- Configurations: benchtop, wall-mount and OEM.
- Other applications: industrial ozone uses including disinfection and sterilization environments.
For operators using ozone as part of an industrial process, the Model 106-M provides a measurement range aligned with higher concentration ozone applications.
Ozone leak detection for water treatment plants
The Model 106-L Ozone Monitor is positioned as a safety monitor for ozone leak detection, including water treatment plant environments. It uses UV-absorbance measurement to provide traceable, quantitative ozone readings.
- Workplace safety threshold: supports verification that ozone levels remain below 0.1 ppm, or 100 ppb.
- Visual indication: front-panel indicator light illuminates when concentrations exceed 100 ppb.
- Applications: ozone leak detection and outdoor ambient air monitoring.
- Configurations: benchtop, wall-mount and OEM.
For facilities where ozone is generated or used on site, the Model 106-L provides a dedicated monitoring approach for low-level ozone safety applications.
Ambient ozone monitoring in remote locations
The Model 202 Ozone Monitor is designed for ambient ozone monitoring, including remote areas where compact dimensions and low power consumption are important. With a power requirement of approximately 7.2 W, it supports deployments where available power may be limited.
- Designation: US EPA Federal Equivalent Method.
- Measurement range: 0–20 ppm.
- Precision and accuracy: 1.5 ppb.
- Options: upgrades available for cold weather and high-altitude applications.
The Model 202 is particularly relevant for environmental monitoring programs that require ozone data outside conventional laboratory or fixed-site environments.
Selecting the right instrument for the application
| Model | Primary use | Range | Key point |
|---|---|---|---|
| HERMES Personal Mercury Monitor | Real-time mercury vapour exposure monitoring | 0–2,000 µg/m³ Hg | Battery powered with built-in data logger |
| Model 106-M Ozone Monitor | Cold storage and industrial ozone monitoring | 0–1,000 ppm | Closed-loop feedback control for ozone generators |
| Model 106-L Ozone Monitor | Ozone leak detection and workplace safety monitoring | Information not specified in the supplied newsletter | Indicator light above 100 ppb |
| Model 202 Ozone Monitor | Ambient ozone monitoring in remote areas | 0–20 ppm | US EPA FEM designation and approximately 7.2 W power consumption |
The selection depends primarily on the gas to be measured, the concentration range, the installation format and the monitoring objective. Mercury vapour exposure monitoring, industrial ozone control, ozone leak detection and ambient ozone monitoring each require a dedicated technical approach.
ES Canada support for gas and air monitoring projects
ES Canada supports Canadian technical users in selecting instrumentation for gas and air monitoring, including occupational hygiene, industrial process monitoring, water treatment safety and environmental air quality applications.
Whether the requirement is real-time mercury vapour exposure data, ozone control in cold storage, leak detection around ozone systems or remote ambient ozone measurement, ES Canada can help review the measurement context and identify the most suitable instrument configuration.
