Casella CEL develops remote monitoring systems

Casella CEL Inc., Buffalo, New York, has introduced its new Noise Guardian and Boundary Guardian web-based remote monitoring systems designed to elevate continuous monitoring of emissions to a level of simplicity and power. By deploying this system, users receive real-time email or text when noise, dust or vibration levels rise above acceptable levels so they can take appropriate action. Sound level measurement capability built into the units satisfies local requirements for accuracy and calculation of important environmental metrics for day/night levels, as well as hourly data. It also provides detailed time-history data that can illustrate noise fluctuations by time so it can be linked to onsite work activities. 

With the included Casella Dataview 24/7 software, reports are designed to be easily accessed in a simple on-screen view from virtually any PC, tablet or smartphone with a simple, secure login. Formatted management reports are generated with user-defined time periods with as much or as little detail as needed. Data can even be superimposed onto a high-resolution map of the site, providing local residents and other interested parties with clearly understandable evidence of the contractor's commitment to environmental compliance.

Ruggedly protected in a compact, nondescript weatherproof housing, the system's components can withstand extremes of both tropical and winter weather conditions. Plus, the Noise Guardian and Boundary Guardian are remarkably simple to commission by non-technical personnel, while routine maintenance is minimal.

Key features include:

• easy to deploy and requires minimal maintenance;
• real time dust (particles less than or equal to 10 micrometers, particles less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers or total suspended particulates) and noise levels;
• EC61672-1 compliant sound level measurement for accurate and reliable results
• heated inlet to reduce moisture effects;
• proven dust measurement technology;
• optional maintenance free wind speed and direction sensor; and
  
• noise or dust only versions.
