NetPID
High sensitivity VOC monitoring station
Autonomous VOC monitoring station suitable for creating complex networks. NetPID enables reliable detection of VOCs even in harsh weather conditions.
NetPID is based on the use of sensitive photoionization detectors capable of determining the presence of VOC at ppb level.
NetPID acquires every 5 seconds and stores data from each sensor. Measurements history is available at any time due to the internal storage. Remote data handling option is available at any time via PC, Tablet or Smartphone.
On-demand sampling of the air for VOCs and odors characterization with OdorPrep ® is available if you get OdorSENS: optional tool of the OdorPrep App. OdorSens allows to check the current status of each sensor and set thresholds limit for sampling activation. Options for e-mail alerting and push notifications are included.
Applications
Fugitive emissions of voc
Deriving for example from the storage, unloading, handling of crude and refined oil.
Impact assessment
Forecast fugitive emissions to implement corrective actions. Evaluation of the odor emissions as part of the health impact assessment plan.
Remote unattended monitoring
Remote monitoring of VOCs in high temporal resolution, real-time data available through online platform and alert notification system.

The control unit
The control unit is made of inert polymeric material capable of minimizing the influence of the external ambient temperature. The response and sensitivity of the sensors positioned inside the unit have been further optimized thanks to a fluid system designed to expose the photoionization detector to forced air circulation. There is also a filter at the suction point inlet to limit the influence of dust.

Data storage and communication system
NetPID acquires every 5 seconds and stores the data of each sensor. The measurement history is available at any time thanks to the internal memory. NetPID can operate in two ways: autonomous (Stand-alone) and online.
Stand-alone mode is the operation mode if an internet connection is not available. You can have remote access to NetPID through the exposed access point and via the network interface, if it is connected via LAN cable or Wi-Fi.
Online mode is available whenever NetPID has an Internet connection. All the features of the stand-alone mode are included. In addition, NetPID synchronizes and updates the data in real time with an online platform to view and download the collected data. Through the online platform it is also possible to set threshold values ("trigger") for each sensor and activate notifications via email
- High Sensitivity
Reliable measurements of VOCs at ppb or sub ppb level. Fence Electrode technology for suppressing the non-specific contribution of moisture. Pressure, Temperature and relative humidity measurements included.
- Response Optimization
The control unit is made of inert polymeric material capable of minimizing the influence of the external ambient temperature. Response and sensitivity of sensors have been further optimized thanks to a new fluidic system design.
- High Temporal Resolution
NetPID synchronizes and updates data in real-time with an online platform that let's you viewing and downloading the collected data. You can even set threshold values ("triggers") for each sensor and activate e-mail notifications.
