Formerly doing business as EEI, Envimetrics is committed to providing instrumentation based upon plasma technology to measure, monitor and control air pollutant emissions from a variety of industrial sources. The firm now offers a Continuous Emission Monitor (CEM), the Argus-Hg, for mercury measurement in incinerators, electric utility plants and industrial manufacturing facilities. The Argus-Hg series are compact, automated instruments for speciating mercury and measuring total concentrations of mercury in flue gas. Envimetrics also offers laboratory services for the testing of mercury in flue gas samples. nvimetrics is using plasma technology to help keep our air clean and our soldiers safe. The Bedminster start-up uses patented plasma technology to monitor mercury emissions from incinerators and utility plants and to help the US Army detect chemical, biological, explosive and nuclear agents from a safe distance. Envimetrics also is applying its innovative technology to homeland security uses to detect explosive, chemical and biological agents. A Bridge Grant from the Commission helped keep Envimetrics in business between federal grant awards, enabling the firm to complete development of its product early and to pursue new applications, says Philip Efthimion, director of research and development. Envimetrics now is working on a portable device for use in the field, as well as non-military uses such as chemical analysis for the gem industry.
