The move of the new Head Office and Production Centre on November 10 will double our floorplan for stock holding and production. And additional rooms for meetings and space for additional support staff will empower greater efficiencies to customer service.

TES’ new Technical Operations and Project Manager, Rumey Jiffrey, is working closely with our Technology Development Manager, Gary Brown to deliver responsive service and faster turnaround.

“With the challenges of COVID-19 and the growing rigour of environmental monitoring, there is a real need for a local Australian service provider that can deliver rapid turnaround,” Rumey said.

“We aim to deliver high-quality and cost-effective service, maintenance and calibration on the instruments we sell and make.

“It’s an exciting time for TES. The old head office warehouse was well appointed, but we needed to expand to facilitate growth and improvement. So from November 10 we will be in a position to provide a far more streamlined workflow and faster turnaround times.

“And the greater stock-holding capacity will enable us to provide a more timely response to service requests.”

Our team of expert technicians and engineers provide skilled maintenance and support on your equipment – either on-site, in our facilities and/or by the manufacturer.

We maintain certified standards for calibration of:

• Flow – dust & gas instrumentation
• Ozone – generators in NOx, ozone analysers & transfer standards
• Dust monitors – FH62 calibration foils
• Gasmet Multi-Gas Analysers.

TES has developed an end-to-end process for systematic preparation of our products that includes:

• Delivery check
• Soak Testing
• Calibration
• Factory Acceptance Testing
• Scheduled Maintenance.

Our processes are managed under an integrated management system to the following standards:

• ISO 9001:2015
• AS/NZS 4801
• ISO 14001:2015.

TES warrants its inhouse repair work and/or replacement parts for the remaining duration of the original warranty period, or for a period of three (3) months, whichever is longer, from the date of completion of repair.

And we have a national footprint with offices in WA, QLD, VIC and NSW

The move will allow us to dedicate even more space to production, engineering, stock & offices.

New Address: 31/398 The Boulevarde, KIRRAWEE NSW Australia

Managing Director, Paul Thomson, said the new premises will provide increased capacity for large projects and commercial/business operations.

“With improved workflow efficiency and more capacity to hold spare parts and production stock, it will enable faster lead times for delivery of the successful QAMS Dustmaster Pro 7000, and the ANSTO-designed Multi-wavelength Absorption Black carbon Instrument (MABI).” Paul said.

“And we will have dedicated space for our R&D team, led by Gary Brown.”

Please contact us if you have any questions about our new location or services. We look forward to working with you from our new address.

Mine owners have a regulatory responsibility to evaluate the content of the atmosphere around every mine, smelting and refining facility and mitigate adverse effects on air quality. Without an accurate and reliable process for detecting on-site dust emissions, the companies can unknowingly violate clean air laws, which potentially results in costly fines, lawsuits and production interruptions. To address the need for continuous monitoring of PM in the atmosphere, Micro Pulse LiDAR (MPL) technology is being tested to determine its usefulness for mining applications.

The ground-based MPL system creates a three-dimensional (3-D) view of the movement of suspended PM that allows any user to track plumes of pollution and better understand air quality in a specified area. Originally developed for NASA satellite missions, the advanced photon-counting technology at the heart of the system is used to detect and track fugitive emission plumes by scanning on a pre-programmed schedule without supervision.

A test project at open-cut coal mines in Australia focused on open path boundary/fence line monitoring using a MiniMPL instrument to track the movement of PM toward nearby municipal areas, as well as contaminants entering the mining area from outside sources. This continuous monitoring across an open pit successfully recorded the dust evolution over time. Results showed that the most dangerous smaller particles stay suspended in the atmosphere much longer than initially thought, which increases the probability of transportation by wind.

The MiniMPL covers a lot of ground with a horizontal scan reaching 100m from the instrument up to 6 km away. Thanks to its space heritage, the MiniMPL unit is robust, small, and lightweight, and the system and laptop are housed inside a specialized weatherproof enclosure. Also notable is its built-in environmental monitoring sensors, regenerating dehumidifier, and uninterruptible power supply, which support autonomous operations in remote areas.

By combining the real-time MPL data with a geographic information system (GIS), the trajectory of emission plumes can be overlaid on a map, allowing the user to pinpoint the origin of the plume and the direction the plume is traveling with a high degree of accuracy. The MiniMPL’s real-time scanning capabilities allow mine operators to better manage on-site dust emissions, reduce unnecessary production stoppages, and improve general air quality in the area. If two co-located instruments with interweaving scan patterns were installed, comprehensive 24/7 coverage could create an effective unsupervised early warning system for adverse events.

The MiniMPL also integrates data from third party instruments, such as weather sensors that collect temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction. This is very important for accurately calculating the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) and emission flux based on up-to-the-minute local conditions. Traditionally PBL estimates are generated using atmospheric readings taken only twice a day at specific geographic locations, which may be hundreds of miles away. For forecasts to be more useful, fluctuations in the PBL should be frequently monitored with on-site sensors.

The MiniMPL data are a valuable addition to Hexagon’s suite of mining enterprise solutions. Integration of multiple data sources enhances the mining monitoring service and provides a more comprehensive picture to users to improve compliance monitoring, plume detection and early warning systems.

It also helps to reduce an organisation’s costs. Particularly in energy-intensive processes, such as power plants and incinerators, which can be optimised through a comprehensive and continuous process analysis.

In order for combustion processes to run efficiently, the combustion process needs to be optimised and monitored appropriately.

Energy conservation protects the environment and helps meet carbon reduction targets.

In order for combustion processes to run efficiently, the combustion process needs to be optimised and monitored appropriately.

“By implementing combustion optimisation, combustion processes can be controlled and the energy consumption can be permanently reduced.” 

Thomson Environmental Systems offers this market leading flue gas and process analysis technology. Our analysers are suitable for gas analysis in small to medium sized combustion plants, measurement in large combustion chambers, or for continuous measurements in high temperature installations such as inlet chambers of rotary kilns in cement plants.

German designed and manufactured ENOTEC analysers for combustion optimisation and emission monitoring distinguish themselves especially by precision, safety and robustness which no other is able to imitate. These quality and safety standards are periodically certified by an independent German test institute and follow the ISO9001 guidelines.

“I was proud of the way our team got involved in the run.”  – Paul Thomson, TES CEO

So the TES team ran and walked in the recent Sutherland-to-Surf fun run to raise money for a well for a community in Northern Uganda. So far the Well-Worth-It project has raised over $53,000 for the building of new wells and restoring existing ones.

As at August 14, the TES team had raised $7250 of that total.

We offer a huge thank-you to every single person or company that has supported our effort. We are only $250 short of our $7500 goal, so if you would like to get us over the top…
