Sensors for environmental technology
Environmental technology plays a crucial role in protecting our natural resources and ensuring the sustainability of processes. IBA offers specialized sensor solutions that contribute to the monitoring, control, and optimization of environmental processes in environmental technology. Our sensors help to accurately record environmental data in order to ensure the responsible use of resources and compliance with strict environmental regulations.
Why use sensor technology in environmental engineering?
In environmental technology, accurate measurements are essential for recording environmental data and controlling processes efficiently. Our sensor solutions support compliance with environmental standards and contribute to sustainability by precisely monitoring parameters such as water quality, air quality, exhaust emissions, and waste streams. Typical applications include:
- Water quality sensors: Recording pH value, turbidity, oxygen content, and other chemical parameters in water bodies and sewage treatment plants.
- Air quality sensors: Measuring pollutant concentrations, particulate matter, and humidity to monitor environmental and indoor air quality.
- Emission sensors: Monitoring exhaust gases and pollutant emissions in industrial plants to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
- Level and flow sensors: Controlling and monitoring wastewater flows and waste processing in sewage treatment plants and recycling centers.
Areas of application
Our sensor solutions for environmental technology offer numerous advantages that support the sustainable and efficient operation of environmental technologies:
- High measurement accuracy: Precise monitoring of environmental parameters for optimal process control and compliance with environmental regulations.
- Robustness: Resistant to extreme weather conditions, moisture, and contamination—ideal for use in harsh environments.
