Addressing Concerns About Particle Number Concentration and Particle Size Distribution Monitoring Implementation

How TSI Can Help Environmental Agencies Meet New Requirements

As the new EU Ambient Air Quality Directive brings Particle Number (PN) and Particle Size Distribution (PSD) into focus, environmental agencies are navigating how best to integrate these parameters into their monitoring networks. At TSI, we understand that this transition may come with questions and concerns; and we're here to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

A Familiar Vendor: Staying with What You Know

You may be already working with a trusted vendor for particulate matter (PM) measurements and prefer to stay with the same supplier for PN and PSD, aiming for consistency across your network

How TSI Can Support You:
TSI’s instruments, such as the 3750-CEN10 Condensation Partice Counter (CPC) and 3938W50-CEN10 SMPS™ spectrometer, are designed to integrate into existing setups. We’ve worked to help ensure compatibility, ease of use, and robust performance. If you’re exploring options, we’re happy to demonstrate how our solutions can complement your current systems while offering support to ease integration and enable smooth operation.

Adopting New Technology: Managing Complexity

Adding new measurement capabilities can feel complex, especially when it comes to system calibration, data management, and day-to-day operation.

How TSI Can Support You:
We aim to simplify the transition with dedicated software and comprehensive training on operating from our experts. Our systems are compliant with the latest EU standards (EN 16976, CEN/TS 17434), ensuring easy compliance and accuracy from day one. The inclusion of detailed diagnostic data provides users with confidence in their operations, while raw data ensures complete traceability and reliability.

Operational Capacity: Balancing Resources

The addition of new capabilities could strain already limited personnel resources. Incorporating new measurement capabilities into existing monitoring networks may require significant redesigns of workflows and data integration systems.

How TSI Can Support You:
Designed for continuous use 24/7/365, TSI instruments are user-friendly and automated, requiring minimal manual intervention. Real-time diagnostics and remote monitoring capabilities enable existing teams to efficiently manage the new measurement requirements. Our instruments are compatible with common data formats which reduces the complexity and time required to upgrade network workflows, ensuring smooth integration without significant overhauls.

Data Integration: Bringing It All Together

You may fear challenges in integrating PN and PSD data with existing datasets for cohesive reporting and analysis.

How TSI Can Support You:
TSI solutions are built with flexibility in mind, providing compatibility with a variety of data platforms. Alongside raw data outputs, we also offer consultation services to assist in data integration and alignment with current reporting frameworks, ensuring a unified approach to air quality monitoring.

Procurement Preferences: Keeping It Simple

You might default to your existing vendor to simplify procurement processes and avoid the perceived hassle of evaluating new suppliers.

How TSI Can Support You:
TSI goes beyond being a supplier; we are a partner in improving air quality monitoring. By choosing TSI for PN and PSD monitoring, you gain access to cutting-edge technology, superior service, and a proven track record of innovation. Our dedicated team ensures a hassle-free procurement and onboarding experience.
