The potential market for Guangdong air monitoring instruments is as high as 100 million yuan

Introduction: What standards should PM2.5 use for monitoring when the new air quality standard is still not in place? The huge market created by the regulatory monitoring equipment has caused concern in the industry. The reporter learned that nine kinds of monitoring equipment, including the United States, Germany, and China, are being tested by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. In Guangdong, the financial needs to support 100 million yuan to meet the province's 97 monitoring sites all have PM2.5 monitoring capabilities.

The total cost of the Guangzhou Environmental Measurement Center exceeded 20 million. The reporter learned that in the current market of known PM2.5 monitoring equipment, the products of the Thermo Fisher Scientific Company are common, and the price of a single device is as high as 280,000 yuan. RMB. Of the monitoring stations known to have PM2.5 monitoring capabilities in Guangdong, almost all of the company's products have been selected. Among them, the Guangzhou City Environmental Monitoring Center Station at Jixiang Road is responsible for the PM2.5 monitoring data collection and analysis instrument, which is precisely the company's products, plus the supporting US-imported facilities, and the total cost of the site is over 20 million yuan. Over 90 air quality indicators can be monitored, including even PM1 parameters. The remaining 9 national monitoring sites in Guangzhou use the same equipment as this super station. The Guangdong Provincial Environmental Monitoring Center is located in the environmental protection building in Moubasha, Haizhu District. The monitoring equipment for PM1 and PM2.5 is also from the company.

Why Guangdong Environmental Protection Department is so fond of American products? A person in charge said that Thermo Fisher's products have passed the certification of the US Environmental Protection Agency. It is currently the most authoritative instrument before China's relevant standards have been introduced. Its use of beta ray monitoring PM2.5 methods is precisely related to the national air quality. The criteria in the second draft of the new specification are the same. While similar products in China, although accuracy is not a problem, and the cost is only about half that of American products, the stability remains to be tested.

The potential market for air monitoring in Guangdong is as high as 100 million yuan. It is understood that air quality monitoring stations with PM2.5 monitoring capabilities are expensive and require several million yuan at any time. At present, there are a total of 97 national air quality monitoring sites in the province, of which all monitoring sites in Guangzhou and Shenzhen already have all six (according to the requirements of the national new regulations request draft, new ozone, PM2.5 and other indicators) monitoring Capability; Dongguan and Foshan have 5 and 8 national control points respectively, and Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, Huizhou and Zhongshan each have one or two monitoring points basically capable of monitoring new pollutants. In cities other than the PRD, monitoring of PM2.5 and ozone is basically a blank.

According to a conservative estimate, to ensure that 97 of the province's national control points have the capacity to monitor new pollutants, the financial sector needs a matching investment of 100 million yuan, and equipment procurement has become the focus of attention. At present, Jiangmen and other places have already carried out related work on purchasing monitoring instruments.
