EarthSense, the air quality expert, has announced a distribution agreement with Al Murabit Company, a leading supplier to the oil and gas industry in Iraq, whereby Al Murabit Company will offer Earthsense’s air quality monitoring and consultancy services to upstream, midstream, and downstream companies in Iraq
Al Murabit Company will distribute EarthSense Zephyr monitors and leverage EarthSense’s data access web application, MyAir to provide an air quality monitoring service. Al Murabit Company will collate baseline data, carry out risk assessments and provide guidance to clients about how to appropriately mitigate elevated levels of air pollution such as harmful gases and particulates.
The Zephyr is an iMCERTS certified real time air quality monitor that takes live measurements of ambient air pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO), ozone (O3), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10). Measurements are sent back to the MyAir web application, where air quality data can be viewed, analysed and downloaded. Used in combination with the MappAir air quality model, users can pull various insights about areas of interest, such as pollution hotspots, peak times, and identify nearby sources contributing to elevated levels.
Hawkar Dizaye, managing director at Al Murabit Company said, "As one of the first and longest-standing oil and gas services companies in the region, we are proud to have been a critical player in the country’s development and continue this leadership with the EarthSense partnership. Bringing industry-leading air quality monitors and innovative modelling tools to Iraq will help drive our industries forward for the next generation."
Greg Lewis, chief sales and marketing officer at EarthSense said, “The carbon-intensive oil and gas industry is undergoing massive disruption with more countries and companies trying to implement net zero emissions and improve overall sustainability, including air quality and impact on local communities. EarthSense is proud to partner with Al Murabit Company to be part of that transformation in Iraq and beyond."
