Advanced thermal camera to enhance regulatory pollution control

G uide Sensmart , a tech provider focusing on the development , manufacturing and marketing of infrared thermal imaging products for commercial applications , has launched the Hammer Series Intelligent Thermal Camera . This camera can monitor the discharge of industrial wastewater , urban sewage , rural sewage and aquaculture wastewater anytime and anywhere . The online infrared thermography can remotely monitor the discharge situation 24 hours a day and achieve automatic early warning .

The long-standing issue of pollution from industrial and agricultural wastewater has consistently been a difficult and burdensome aspect of the environmental governance system . The regulatory difficulty lies in the fact that it is impossible to observe whether there is discharge behaviour at the drainage outlet with the naked eye , or whether some companies choose to discharge wastewater at night to evade the scrutiny of regulatory authorities .
The existence of infrared thermal cameras can perfectly solve this problem . By using the built-in infrared detector , the invisible infrared radiation in the wastewater is converted into a visible thermal image , reflecting the temperature distribution on the surface of the discharged wastewater . Even at night , infrared thermal cameras can detect such violations .

National Grid submits plan to meet commonwealth ’ s environmental goals

N ational Grid submitted its Electric Sector Modernization Plan ( ESMP ), the Future Grid Plan , to the Grid Modernization Advisory Council ( GMAC ), outlining the critical investments needed in the local electric distribution system over the next five years and beyond to meet the Commonwealth ’ s nationleading climate change , clean energy and equity goals as established in the 2050 Clean Energy and Climate Plan ( CECP ).

As part of National Grid ’ s commitment to delivering a fair , affordable and clean energy future for all its customers , the plan outlines a comprehensive and flexible path designed to expand and upgrade the current electric distribution grid , ensure reliability , enable increased electrification and empower smart customer choices and the transition away from a fossil-based economy .
“ We are at an inflection point in the Commonwealth ’ s energy future . We must continue to invest to achieve our shared goal of accelerating the adoption of climate and clean energy solutions by all customers and communities across Massachusetts . We ’ ve submitted a plan that strives to do just that ,” said Steve Woerner , President of National Grid , New England . “ With electric peak demand expected to double over the next 25 years , driven by substantial growth in the use of electric heating and transportation , now is the time to build a future grid that is smarter , stronger and cleaner . We must harness our state ’ s innovative and collaborative spirit to achieve an energy future that works for all .”
