PmX-5050

ElvaX PmX-5050 – Continuous Particulate Matter Monitoring System

The ElvaX PmX-5050 is a fully autonomous, continuous particulate matter (PM) monitoring system designed for real-time elemental analysis of ambient air. Utilizing advanced X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology, it provides precise detection of heavy metals and other toxic elements in PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ fractions, making it an essential tool for environmental monitoring and industrial hygiene.

Engineered for long-term, unattended operation, the PmX-5050 can perform continuous analysis for up to three months without manual intervention. Its automated system includes a heated sampling stage to prevent condensation, ensuring consistent performance across varying environmental conditions. The device also features automatic corrections for ambient temperature, humidity, and pressure, maintaining high analytical stability over extended periods.

The system’s high-resolution Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) and 50W, 50kV X-ray tube enable detection limits as low as 0.1 ng/m³ for most elements. With a measurement range of 0 to 200 µg/m³ and sampling times adjustable between 3 to 1440 minutes, the PmX-5050 offers flexibility to meet diverse monitoring requirements. It complies fully with the US EPA IO-3.3 standard, ensuring reliable and standardized data for regulatory purposes.

User-friendly features include an intuitive software interface, simple calibration procedures, and easy filter tape replacement. Connectivity options such as USB and Ethernet facilitate seamless data integration into existing monitoring networks. The compact design (500 x 500 x 450 mm) and moderate weight (40 kg) allow for versatile installation in various settings.

Ideal for applications in environmental surveillance, industrial emission control, and public health studies, the ElvaX PmX-5050 delivers accurate, real-time insights into air quality, aiding in the identification and mitigation of pollution sources.

PmX-5050 is a fully stand-alone device for continuous analysis of particulate matter (PM) elemental composition, intended for online elemental analysis of heavy metals in the ambient air. Particulate matter’s presence in the air and its overall accumulation in the environment are the subjects of growing public concern, especially in the manufacturing facilities, plants, and factories surrounding areas. It is vital to measure and assess the PM concentration in the air to prevent any possible harm to natural resources, people residing in such areas and overall environmental deterioration of the region.
