At this year’s Air Quality and Emissions (AQE) conference in Telford, a number of awards were given out for excellence in various aspects of air monitoring. To learn a little more about their products, partnerships and why they come to AQE, EnvirotechOnline took a walk around the exhibition floor to talk to some of the nominees. 

We asked Felicity Sharp, Country Operating Officer at ACOEM, about their partnership with South Lanarkshire Council, for which they received the Best Supplier and End-User Partnership award. 

“It goes back a very long time, South Lanarkshire Council and ACOEM have had a partnership for almost 20 years! It spans across almost the entire breadth of our company so we service and maintain their reference equipment, we also look after their small sensors, their AQMesh systems and we provide data reports for them. It’s been a brilliant relationship that’s been built on trust and honesty and open communication, and yeah we’re really, really proud that they’ve been involved in this one, and happy to win it with them.” 

Then, we chatted about ACOEM’s new Dust Rover, which was nominated for AQE’s Most Innovative Instrument, Product, or Digital Solution award. 

“The Dust Rover is a new product from the ACOEM product, it’s one where we’re basically taking a reference-grade PM instrument and putting it on a mobile platform. Mostly, what we see is PM instruments in static locations, this one because it’s for mining sites and other industrial applications, we’re putting on a mobile application and tracking real time data of PM, so that we can get alarms sent back to the central location so they can do immediate ratification!” 

Finally, we asked Felicity about why ACOEM attends AQE every year. 

“We love AQE! It’s a place where we can meet our customers, our suppliers, our partners and our competitors, have chats and discussions, one-on-one. Also, we love to hear from the speakers at the conference, which had a really great programme, this year.” 

In 2024, AQE will return bigger and better, graduating to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. For information on exhibiting at AQE 2024, click here.
