Environmental Sensing

Track the dynamics of contaminants and other parameters in outdoor, remote environments.

One of our sensors deployed in Riverton, WY to monitor heavy metals in groundwater near a mining site.

On-site Quantification of Contaminants

Our platform has been tested in harsh outdoor conditions, including extreme hot and cold. Pictures at right show monitoring of groundwater at a remote site in Riverton, WY and in a snow field in Crested Butte, CA.

  • QBI can set up a complete installation including solar power and groundwater pumping and filtration

  • We can pull and sample water automatically for over a month with no user intervention

  • Data can be accessed and monitored remotely

  • Platform can reduce need for site visits and eliminate delays, providing actionable data automatically

Potential Applications in Environmental Monitoring:

  • Groundwater contamination: Monitor dynamics of contamination plumes and progress of remediation efforts

  • Data integration: Combine sensor data with environmental data, imaging, and audio for a comprehensive site evaluation

  • Agriculture: Monitor nutrient runoff, optimize fertilization needs, maximize crop production, monitor pesticides, and detect harmful bacterial contamination
