BPO's remote monitoring trailers are in hot demand and Halo is excited to be on the journey as the unit's telemetry partner. The trailer operates on solar power and features dual refrigerated samplers, with all data linked through Halo's telemetry platform.

The portable and temporary monitoring tool is used in a variety of applications including industrial plant design, assisting with plants that are experiencing outages, and placement into remote and difficult-to-access locations.

Why temporary monitoring?

Sophisticated portable water monitoring capability is essential to ensure informed decisions are made based on accurate data, rather than relying on guesswork, where inadequate information can lead to environmental and community risks.

The trailer in action

To exemplify the trailer in action, Fonterra Te Rapa recently faced a unique challenge when they needed to temporarily disconnect power and communication to their discharge compliance monitoring station for essential maintenance elsewhere on site. Ongoing developments demanded a brief interruption in power and communications where a temporary solution was required to keep their vital compliance data intact for consent reporting.

BPO's monitoring trailer played a critical role in overseeing several key parameters throughout the maintenance period monitoring:

• Flow (open channel)
• Flow proportional sampling (refrigerated)
• Temperature
• pH
• Turbidity
• Conductivity
