Airport & Transportation

RAM2000 set up below a busy highway overpass.
The RAM2000 was used to monitor a Government (public) building entry and throughfare in Taiwan.

Chemical Agents & Facilities

In 2000, Marines got a chance to train with the RAM2000 detector during testing at Dugway Proving Ground. The system can remotely quantify chemical agents at ranges up to one kilometer by measuring the quantity of gases in the atmosphere. (Photo by Melanie Moore)
Fifteen different field tests were carried out using simulated chemical warfare agents (CWA's). Real CWA's were used in twenty-two controlled indoor chamber tests. Very low levels of many chemicals can be detected and measured by the RAM2000 in real world situations. Please contact us for details.

Greenhouse Gases   

The RAM2000 was used to monitor background levels of atmospheric gases from prevailing winds off the subequatorial Atlantic Ocean.
Ozone Monitoring on a building rooftop in Seoul, Korea. The RAM2000 collected data corresponding to data collected by Seouls' National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER).
The RAM2000 was set at multiple (one way path) distances ranging from 20 meters up to 1/2 a kilometer to the Retro-Reflector.

Indoor Air Quality

The RAM2000 can be set up to monitor single rooms, long corridors or large warehouses.
The RAM2000 avoids time lost to "grab" samples that have to be sent out to a lab and only measure the moment of time that the sample was collected.

Industrial Facilities

Landsfills & Remediation

The RAM2000 has been used to monitor emissions from landfills such as the New York Staten Island landfill.

The RAM2000 has been used for 10 years for perimeter monitoring at hazardous waste sites. Sites include Superfund emergency removal actions, former MGP, abandoned lagoons, former dumps, and industrial brownfield properties.

Mobile Installations

In 2001, the Mobile Air Toxics Division permanently installed a RAM2000 in a monitoring truck. The system is self-contained including met tower.

In 2004, a RAM2000 was installed in a light trailer so it could be easily moved around the site, yet closed and locked at the end of the day. The project pictured was located in Bristol, Tennessee. To cover two fence lines a flat mirror was inserted between the retro reflector and RAM2000 sensor. Real time action level compliance was required during soil handling activities. The RAM2000 was moved depending on wind direction.

The "on" and "off" requirement for air monitoring at large scale remediation make it advantageous to lease equipment for just certain phases of the project. A good example is the Lipari Landfill Remediation. KASSAY provided equipment and services to multiple site contractors spanning several years. At the time of remediation, Lipari was ranked #1 on the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL).

The RAM2000 shoots out of the side window and is used for the investigation of odors and emissions sources.

Daily monitoring was conducted over a three year period by a RAM2000 system set up in a rental truck. The truck was often moved to more strategic locations as the remediation progressed. The entire system including the RAM2000 Tax-Met, PC, and printer ran off of portable generators. When soil handling activities were dormant, the RAM2000 and rental truck were demobilized.
