Uji Spesifikasi Pengukuran PM10 Dengan EPAM5000 dan BAM 1020 Terhadap Kelembaban Udara

PM10 merupakan salah satu aerosol yang merupakan bagian dari partikel pencemar. Keberadaannya menempati volume ruang di atmosfer dengan konsentrasi yang selalu tergabung dengan materi lainnya dan dipengaruhi oleh kondisi atmosfer setempat. Pengukuran PM10 pada periode waktu siang dan malam dengan menggunakan EPAM5000 dan BAM1020 telah dilakukan untuk mengetahui specifikasi alat terhadap hasil pengukuran pada responnya terhadap unsur cuaca (kelembaban). Data hasil pengukuran dan analisis korelasi menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan pada hasil ukur konsentrasi PM10 pada periode malam pada EPAM5000 dan BAM1020 yang disebabkan oleh perbedaan pendukung instrument pada aliran udara masuk. Adanya smart heather pada BAM1020 berfungsi untuk mengontrol kadar uap air dari aliran udara yang dihisap sedangan pada EPAM5000 udara yang dihisap langsung diukur kosentrasinya sehingga hasil ukur konsentrasi PM10 pada EPAM5000 lebih tinggi karena masih mengandung banyak uap air (aerosol hidroskopis). Adanya menu Manual Zero atau Auto Zero pada EPAM5000 untuk membersihkan optic sensor dan mereset menjadi 0 mg/m3. Pada periode malam, partikulat PM10 akan bergabung dengan uap air menyebabkan konsentrsi yang terukur pada EPAM5000 tinggi. Hal ini diperkuat oleh hasil korelasi menunjukkan bahwa nilai PM10 berkorelasi kuat terhadap kelembaban data pengukuran EPAM5000. Untuk ini perlu adanya metode untuk memisahkan PM10 dan materi lainnya (uap air) agar didapatkan nilai konsentarsi yang sebenarnya untuk menentukan kebijakan terkait kondisi udara yang terjadi.ABSTRACTPM10 is one of the aerosols which is part of polluting particles. Its existence occupies a volume of space in the atmosphere with a concentration that is always combined with other materials and is influenced by local atmospheric conditions. Measurement of PM10 in the time period of day and night using EPAM5000 and BAM1020 has been carried out to determine the specifications of the instrument on the measurement results in response to weather elements (humidity). Measurement data and correlation analysis indicate that there are differences in the results of measuring PM10 concentrations in the night period on EPAM5000 and BAM1020 due to differences in instrument support in the intake air flow. The presence of a smart heather on the BAM1020 functions to control the water vapor content of the sucked air stream, while on the EPAM5000 the air that is sucked is directly measured so that the concentration of PM10 on EPAM5000 is higher because it still contains a lot of water vapor (hydroscopic aerosol). There is a Manual Zero or Auto Zero menu on the EPAM5000 to clean the optical sensor and reset it to 0 mg/m3. During the night period, PM10 particulates will combine with water vapor causing concentrations measured at high EPAM5000. This is confirmed by the correlation results showing that the PM10 value has a strong correlation to the humidity of the EPAM5000 measurement data. For this, it is necessary to have a method for separating PM10 and other materials (water vapor) in order to obtain the actual concentration value to determine policies related to air conditions that occur.

Design of an information-measuring system for monitoring deformation and displacement of rock massif layers based on fiber-optic sensors

This paper reports a study into designing an information-measuring system that could be used in coal mines that are dangerous in terms of the explosion of coal dust and methane gas. The results of reviewing technical advancements in the field of fiber-optic system development are given. To solve the set task, prototypes of a fiber-optic sensor of a new type and a hardware-software complex were constructed. The research aims to improve the safety of workers at coal enterprises. The result of the theoretical research has established that additional losses related to a micro bending should be taken into consideration while accounting for the effect of photoelasticity. The fundamental difference between the idea reported here and existing analogs is the development of a hardware-software complex capable of working with a single-mode optical fiber of great length with a significant noise level. The data processing unit is equipped with a television matrix and can analyze changes in the pixels of a light spot. The proposed system is quasi-distributed; it controls individual points within a rock massif. The designed hardware-software system provides high noise immunity of measuring channels when the external temperature changes. The research results helped develop an information-measuring system for monitoring the deformation and displacement of rock massif layers based on fiber-optic sensors, capable of operating in an explosive environment. The system makes it possible to control several layers located in the roof of the workings, while the fiber-optic sensor may contain two or three sensitive elements that are connected to different channels. With a sharp fluctuation in pressure and an increase in the displacement parameter, the system triggers a warning signal about the danger.

Fiber-optic sensor for remote monitoring the γ-radiation of various powers

The necessity of improving the metrological characteristics and functional capabilities of the fiber-optic sensor for measurements at the large distances (more than 10 km) is substantiated. The new method for constructing a communication line with the fiber-optic sensor for controlling exposure dose in a large range of its variation (several orders of magnitude) in a remote mode is proposed. The functional capabilities of the sensor are determined; its connection setup and measurement limits are developed. The experimental results are presented.

Questions of application of fiber-optic sensors for monitoring crack growth during rock deformations

The paper considers ways to solve the problem of developing a system for monitoring displacement in quarries, which are the main main cause of the collapse of boards and berms in quarries. To ensure safety and constant monitoring during work at the quarry, there are chiseled fiber-optic sensors. The fiber-optic sensor is made on the basis of a single-mode optical fiber, which makes it possible to measure the displacements of the mountain range at distances of about 30 km with high accuracy. Laboratory sample a fiber-optic sensor in its work uses a method for monitoring additional losses that occur during mechanical action on an optical fiber. The fiber-optic sensor was made to show a fairly high linearity and accuracy during measurements and can be used to control the deformation of the array after appropriate refinement of its design. This article is aimed at creating means of controlling the process of deformation and displacement of a mountain massif. Ultimately, the results of the study will help prevent accidents associated with the collapse of the sides. Since the growth of cracks in the rocks of the bort mountain massif leads to its sudden collapse and creates a significant danger for personnel, it also causes the failure of mining equipment.

Organic phosphor based fiber-optic sensor for detection of UV radiation

The paper presents a simple and low-cost fiber-optic sensor for detection of UV radiation. A sensor construction consists of a silica capillary with a photoactive composition based on an organic phosphor, organic solvent and epoxyacrylate inside and a multimode optical fiber in contact with each other. By adjusting the proportion of components in a photoactive composition, it is possible to obtain a pronounced optical signal at wavelength near 440 nm which is the luminescence emission wavelength of the chosen organic phosphor. The potential of using the construction as a UV sensor is confirmed by the linear dependence of the optical signal amplitude at the fiber output on the optical power supplied to the fiber input.
