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.
